ok well im goin on vacation for 3 weeks and i need to know what im gunna do with my fish,my parents wont allow anyone in my house during this time so please dont say get someone to feed them.i usually leave on vacation for 2 weeks and i leave them goldfish,but now that i no how bad goldfish are im not planning on it anyone have ideas im scared that my bigger fish eat my smaller ones, and please dont say rosy reds either cause i dont no what they are and have never seen them at my lfs,also how do i keep up with my water changes?
 
my lfs takes them.
mine will be having them for 3 weeks in may/june, at least i no they will b looked after well
 
What is the stock and tank size? 3 weeks is nothing. Fish can go months without food, if healthy to begin with. Most fish are overfed, and will live off fat supply alone.

Get an automatic fish feeder. Set it to feed only a little to ensure it doesnt over feed, but just enough to keep the fish from getting too hungry and eating each other.
will guppys alot of guppys work? they also sel this kinda fish block at my lfs that could last a month what do u think?

so big cichilds should be fine?
 
The bigger the fish, the longer they can live with no food. Fry need to be fed multiple times a day.
