feeding young discus while on holiday

[msjinkzd]

I am leaving for 2 days. I have 5 3-4" juvie discus in a 75g. Anyone use autofeeders? Any recommendations on brand?
Do I need to stress about it for 2 days? Any input appreciated.

i havent heard of any of these autofeeders in my area but maybe you could get some friends to help feed them while your gone?

They will be ok for 2 days without food. Just as if they were being shipped they would not be fed for at least three days. Enjoy the two days off. Just make sure you have the filter on high!!

doh, didn't even think about the shipping aspect....these darn spoiled discus! LOL

I know we all get carried away with over caring if you can call it that. Our fish are a little hardier than we think!!

I am a newbie discus owner, lol, just don't want to screw up!

Feed them a bunch before you leave. Then do a big W/C. Dont bother with an auto feeder. Then come home, feed again and W/C. You can easily get away with not feeding for 2-3 days.

jinkz use the rena digital feeder if you want..that is a reliable one. mine dropped food once a day for a month and didnt mess up once. it also clips on well.
