I have 2 dwarf frogs and 3 gourami....?

Question

and I'm going on vacation in a couple of days. They all live in one 10 gallon tank. I feed them once everyday but the person thats coming to feed them is only going to come every 2 days or so and I'm not sure what to do? Any ideas?

Thanks for any answers.

Answer 1

They will be fine. In the wild, fish can go almost a week without food (don't try that with your fish, they might grow to hate you). It won't be a problem. Just make sure the person taking care of your aquatic amigos knows what they are doing.

Answer 2

They Should be just fine. They say they can live a while with out food. At least yours will be feed ever other day. I am glad there getting feed every other day. And that they don't have to wait a week. They also have vacation feeders. I have never used one. but i heard that they can impact the aquarium water chemistry.

Answer 3

they'll probably be just fine, you can get an automatic feeder or a "gel pack" feeder

By the way 3 gouramis in a ten gallon tank is way too many, even if they are dwarf gouramis (usually stubby bodies not longer)

You can expect gold or platinum gouramis to get 8 to 12 inches at least. translation you need at least 30 gallons if not 55

Answer 4

Every 2 days will be fine. Just make sure to tell him/her when to come. Also, to prevent overfeeding, I would suggest to put each day of food into a plastic bag so he/she can dump the food in the plastic bag into the aquarium.

Answer 5

My fish and other aquatic animals might get fed every other day sometimes and they do just fine. You can purchase fish food that is time released. I have seen them at Walmart and other pet stores. They are vacation food.

Answer 6

That's fine, they wil not starve to death. Never use one of those horrible vacation feeder cakes, it will rot ,stink and kill everything.
