My W/C pair of 7 inch Jaguars spawned last week.There are hundreds of fry with them in their 90 gallon tank.I am feeding them 3 times a day with Frozen Baby Brine Shrimp and Hikari first bites.My problem is I am going away next week for four days and there is no one to feed them while I'm gone.I saw those weekend feeder blocks.Would they work?Any ideas?
 
they will be fine for 4 days, throw a block in and bury it under some pebbles so the parents cant get it for reassurance if you like!-) congrates btw!
 
They'll be fine. Remember at that age they eat algae and they can feed on the parents slime coat.

No need to use the feeding block. Fry are all gone. Probably from the male eating them. He's been chasing the female all over the tank for the past 2 days. Almost as if he want to breed again. Now I know to remove fry as soon as they become free swimming.
