Hey guys I am brand new to oscars and this site as well. I just got an albino red oscar a few days ago and he is doing great. Right now he is a little less than two inches long.

Now to the question, I am going on vaction in a couple weeks and i will unable to feed him and i cant afford to purchase an automatic feeder. Will the pyramid 7 day feeders be sufficient while i am away for 7 days? Will it hurt my water chemistry during this time?

a couple of days with out food will not harm your oscar.
just make sure that your water is in good condition before
leaving.

Hey thanks for the replies. But you guys think he will be ok without food for seven or eight days though?

starving a small oscar isnt the best option and would i say try to get a auto feeder. Faling this starving is the only option and it would be ok. make sure your waters in good condition before you go.

you say you got the oscar a few days ago? did you cycle the tank correctly and have you tested your water?

I did cycle it correctly, however, I have not gotten my testing supplies yet. But it is on my to do list. I am running more than enough filtration so i am not for seeing any problems with water, but i guess you never know. About what should my levels be at when i do test?
