Which automatic fish feeder...

[Blub Blub]

...do you use when you are away. I use a Grasslin Rondomatic 400 on my 55 gal., but I don't think it would feed enough for my 180. The feeding sessions are too far apart for seconds, because my oscars would just end up gorgeing themselves while the less gluttonous fish went hungry. I would like a feeder that feeds enough in one session so that after the Oscars have packed their jaws there is a little left for the rest, before the Oscars can come back for more. All the fish in my 180 are still juveniles at this point, but I would like a feeder that will still be effective when they are adults if possible.

I'm willing to spend a little extra for something that works well. Any suggestions?

Well trained friends , family, or neighbor

Depends on how long I am going to be gone for. If only for a few weeks, I wouldn't worry about it.

Fish are cold blooded animals, they can adjust their body temperature so min energy is used. They can go without food for weeks/months.

What about aggression? Two weeks is probably the longest I would be gone, but if I went for two days without food somebody would probably get their ass kicked.

No joke though, this is my first time keeping Cichlids, y'all think they would fare OK?

they should be ok, maybe you can get another feeder one for the oscars and use the one you have now for the others.
