As title said going away for a month and noone to feed my fish! Any good automatic fish feeders around that will last for 3 weeks? good thing all my fish is used to pellets and freeze dried.

Same here, 3 weeks and 2 days for me... but my mother will come feed my fish.

I believe they make automatic feeders... may want to look into that.

Since you dont have anyone to baby sit I suppose what I would do is get some automatic feeders set to feed like every 4 days and def do a couple really good vac/WC's ( 75% for the Oscar tank lol) 2 days in a row right before you leave and hope for the best.

I think OP knows he needs an automatic feeder. He's just asking which one people would recommend.

I've used this one and had pretty good results:

Set it to feed just once a day or every other day because your fish will be able to survive without food for awhile more than they can survive in dirty water.

Do you think that will last 3 weeks if I feed 2-3times a week? Also, how many pellets will each chamber hold? I feed my oscars Hikari Gold large pellets. Pellets I believe are around 5mm.
