I would be making baggies for each individual feeding and a schedule. I wouldnt even know what my wife would do if I had to leave for that long lol.

Hopefully she takes care of your tanks well.

I would do the same. I used to leave them thosr pill containers with a compartment for each day of the week filled with a slightly smaller portion of pellets than i would normally feed.

+1 i would baggie up food for each feeding

Hehe I love it, I'm not the only one!

After WC's we did a dry run feeding yesterday, and I've portioned food for every second day feedings. Plus there are sticky notes everywhere...on the pellet containers, on the tanks, reminders to secure the lids, check the temps, where to find the fresh / frozen foods etc.

Even still I'll be checking in every few days...

Great progress everyone! I'm a firm believer that CB Teugs are able to grow to 16-18" the first 2-3 years. There's some that reached to 18"-20" after 3-4 yrs. When u think about it. They should get bigger than 20 since WC can get 30"+.

My buddys 3 yrs. 17" or larger recently jumped out, but has several more a few inches smaller.

Also, here's an a quck clip of a few in my state. Great fishkeeper by the name of Shawn Armentrout. His Teugs shown are 18-20".
