Growouts

['Merica]

A mix of Ocellaris and Monos. 4/5 are on pellets. The 5th and smallest is eating some but not as ravenously as the others yet. I’ve been feeding them chopped silversides and tilapia as well. Current temp is 84F in a 125 with two sponges and an fx6. They’ll move in to my 300 when they reach around 8” or so.

In a few days I’m going to visit some family for a week, and my mother in law will be feeding the fish during that time. I’m a little nervous being away, but I’ve prepped all their meals. I had actually bumped the tank to 86. When I’m gone, they are only scheduled to get two feedings a day as opposed to the 3-5 small feedings I usually do. Should I reduce the temp for while I am gone or just leave it?

I would just leave the temp alone. flexing tank temps could stress them out. Enjoy visiting you're family.

These fish eat better than me! I say leave the temp alone, and add very specific instructions for your mother-in-law.

Going to do a water change later tonight and hope they are all alive when I come back from the trip.

Good luck! I hope they survive!
