    With priced collection like that, I would pay a hobbyist friend to check on them every three four days. I have done that, the cost of one fish could easily pay for that. That way you may not have to rely on the fish feeder - I heard horror story of feeder dumping too much food in during vacation and livestocks were a total write-off.

    Yeah, I'm with gklaw on that... I mean, most folks go on vacation sooner or later, I'm sure there're some willing to swap favours with someone else. Going somewhere warm to get away from this snow & rain?

    I agree with Gordon as well. I hope you are able to figure something out.

    I'm worried about a two month trip back home this summer.... I'm gonna have to teach my brother how to do water changes!!

    I'd pay somebody to look after them, at least every other day. You could maybe put a divider in between the aggressive fish to minimize the possibility of fights.

    Check out the yellow pages forum here, there are a few people who do tank maintenance on a professional basis. There may also be BCA members near you who you could work out a deal with.

    Gone fishing....
