I am leaving town for 4 days and have know one to feed my 6 " O. and my baby O. What should I do to keep them alive

Oscars can go a couple of weeks without food easily so i wouldnt worry about 4 days without food. Feed them before you go. Your 6 inch oscar will be fine- how big is the baby

If you are that worried you could always buy an auto feeder

Your fish will be very very pleased to see you when you get back

the baby is 1 inch max. He is probaly closer to 3/4 of in inch

I would without question get an Auto feeder, then at least they get something to eat. IMO the baby is too small to go without food!

what should i put in the auto feeder? pellets?

Yes and then you can set it to drop a specific amount of food at a specific time everyday or a couple times a day. They are available at Petsmart.

thank you. does water get in the auto feeder? If they do won't the pellets get soggy?

The feeder mounts to the top of the tank at an opening, like where your filter goes in, and it is about 2 inches above the tank!

It works like a clock mechanism I think. that's the ones iv seen anyway. I think iv seen them with a small cell battery possibly size AA.

thank you. should i set it for how many hours? 12?

not really sure to be honest but 12 hrs seems about right your baby Oscar will be fine on twice a day feeds

k thanks
