Title: Juvie Question..Home Alone
Post by: PaulineMi on January 25, 2015, 05:47:53 PM
We're leaving tomorrow, returning home Friday. Big water changes have been done on all tanks after a light feeding this morning. However I'm wondering if my four pre-dime Dantums can be fed tonight and tomorrow morning as long as I thoroughly siphon the tank bottom afterwards. They're in a 29 with a well established sponge filter.  However if they're better off not being fed to keep things ultra-clean I'm okay with that too.

What would be best for the little guys?

A water change before you go..feed lightly(micro worms live longest)  as you walk out the door.....and flip the light off....they'll be fine with ambient light and will forage a bit on any leftovers...dimes are pretty resilient ...

Oh good about being resilient. I don't have microworms but they're loving freeze dried black worm "crumbs".  I'll give them a bit of those.
