In a months time ill be going on holiday for 8 days and it will be the first time my tank has been left alone without anyone. What im worried about is the feeding, as i dont want to come home to a tank with a bunch of dead fish =[
I was wondering whether anyone had any idea on how i could solve this problem, ive seen the autofeeders for flake food, but not all of my fish will eat flake.
The fish particularly which wont eat flake are my Pakistan Butterfly, Auriga Butterfly, One Spot Foxface and Banggai Cardinal. If anyone knows of anything like an autofeeder for frozen food, or a particular type of flake i can try then it would be much appreciated! Asking someone else to feed them for me really is a last resort!!
 
Maybe go to your LFS and try the gel food. It has all the goodies that frozen food has but it doesnt need to be kept cold. Thats what i would do.

Automatic feeder with freeze dried food. I've had issues with gel foods leavin a nasty slime over the substrate where they were and making the water cloudy. It's your choice but freeze dried might be something to look into

Eight days without food isn't going to kill most fish
