Guys I need advice.
I'm going on vacation in about a month.
I have an auto feeder that can feed pellets as my established fish eat pellets.
My concern is that I've recently added a swissgaurd basslet and a peppermint hogfish so I've been strictly feeding frozen.
Does anybody know if these guys will accept pellets? Im also afraid my established fish will outcompete them especially the swissgaurd who stays in the bottom of the rock work.
Any advice?
 
How long will you be gone? Anyone willing to check on the tank and feed for you?
 
I will be leaving Wednesday and returning Sunday. So no frozen food thursday-saturday. I could ask a friend to come Friday but I dont really have anyone else to come everyday im out.
 
Don't sweat a 3 day vacation. As long as fish are healthy when you leave, three days without food is no problem. An auto feeder will help, and having a friend check on the tank and feed once would be good for peace of mind.

thanks man
 
Usually, I have someone check on my tank (and cats) every two days. I have instructions laid out for the person and premade food. That way, it is super simple for someone to figure out.
