Re: Vacation Feeding

["Scott Davis" <unclescott at prodigy_net>]

Feeding has been well covered. A couple of small additional add ons...

If it is likely to be warm, leave the air-conditioning on at a modest level
so metabolisms don't sky rocket. Cooler temperatures mean less aggression
too.

Also separate breeders. Single fish can make it in a small, well covered
bowl if need be. (Fast them the day before putting them in the bowl.) There
will be no widowers when you get home.

If the adults are separated and taken out of graveled/ planted tanks you may
be surprised to have more killies (counting the half inchers in those
vacated tanks) than when you left. That will remove some of the sting from
the air-conditioner related electric bill.

All the best!

Scott
