I will be leaving for three weeks in the near future. I have currently two tanks running, a 10gal and a 75gal.
The 10 gal houses a baby senegal and the 75 will continue to be a grow out for 2x GTs(<3.5"), 3x Sev. Rotkeils(<3").

So the problem comes down to that no one will be able to come feed or change the water while I'm gone.

What are my options and what should I be concerned about the most?

My plan is to do 50% w/c on the 10 and the 75 before I leave.
I will probably introduce some shrimp or guppies into the 10 for the senegal and for 75 i have an automatic feeder that should last for a lil over a week.

So while I'm concerned about the bichir, I'm more focused on the cichlids. Any suggestions and advice are welcome and appreciated.
 
If your always shopping At the lfs try to see if they will take them for the time you are gone for. Some might, or see if the workers can house them at their house for re time your gone.

Try adding a second auto feeder and having each feeder give less food to stretch the amount of time they can be used while still feeding the fish. (two seperate ones at half the amount t one wouldgive out =double the time they can be used for, try it with three or 4 if you can.)That'll keep em fed.

I didn't look at what fish you have, but I know two f my fish have learned how to knock down the feeders
