Jaguar Cichlid - 2 weeks without a water change

Absolutely, but I'll be telling him literally how many pellets to feed, same every feeding. Any thoughts on dosing prime twice per week?

A healthy fish that size will have no problem going two weeks without food. You probably wont even notice a difference in the fish.

I'd do what the poster above said, and have your roommate feed him 1 week in, using a food package you've prepared yourself. Whatever you do don't let your roommate choose the food, I've came back to tanks filled with food (and dead fish) after asking people to feed my fish lol

same here, ive came home too milk coloured tanks before!!! people get carried away or forget then dump loads in!

no. need to add prime. he will be fine, i personally trust no one to feed my fish. last camping trip I had my oldest daughter feeding the fry. these fry in a 75g. nitrates where through the roof after 6 days when i got back. she way over fed. lost all of them to I am guessing nitrate shock when i changed the water. My advice just leave them be, they be fine.

Good to hear.
