Feeding formosa while away

[B Considine]

What/how do you folks do to feed tiny fish when you're away? I'm about to leave for a week.

I'm tempted to toss in a weekend feeding tab, but I suspect it would only feed the shrimp and snails.

For my larger tank, I hook up an autofeeder and try to underfeed.

I use the Penn Plax Daily Double feeder that runs on one AA battery I depart for long trips. You can place any sized flake food into the drum and can adjust the amount that will be fed to the fish twice a day.

Perhaps I've been too nice to my formosa. I've been crushing the flake food into microscopic crumbs in the thought that a couple of regular size flakes would sink before they got to it.

Guess I'll simply get some new batteries...

When I said any sized flake food I meant it can be used in the feeder and was not thinking about the size of the fish you are feeding.

I have crushed up all the flake food I use in my fish room. We (when I say we I mean all us fish people) do it for our fish.

By all means provide the crushed up food via the penn plax feeder while you are out of town.

Lost a shrimp, but the formosa were ok.
