Automatic Fish feeder or food Blocks?
I have a 5 gallon tank with 4 danios, 2 long fin, and 2 glo— fish. i am going on vacation for 1 week. and i was thinking which feeder i should get the automatic one. or the blocks that you put in and they eat. and i know most of the answers are going to be leave them alone they’ll be fine in a week without food. but i dont want to starve my fish =[. So which one is better.
If you had experience with one can you give me the link or name to the feeder?
Get neither. Healthy adult fish can easily go for a week without eating. Feeding blocks are mostly plaster, there are countless stories of aquarists using these, and returning to a horribly fouled tank with dead fish. Auto feeders aren’t much better, prone to plugging then dumping multiple days worth of food into the tank, once again fouling the water.
An extended fast is part of the regime followed to get difficult to breed species to spawn. For a good read on this check out this article; http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/breeding/adolfsson_dry%20and%20rainy%20seasons.html
I have extended the fasting period to three weeks using this method, with no ill effect.
