Because i have to be down with my dog hannah 24/7 for two weeks do you all think i am giving my fish enough food? I didnt have anytime to test the water today, i just threw some food in and went right back down with hannah. I usialy spend ten minutes feeding them so they eat every pellet and i can show them the food first and turn the light on for a hour before i feed but now i havent been doing that so im afraid my fish arent getting enough food what do you all think? also i was thinking about putting them on a auto feeder but it either feeds too much or too litle so which setting should i put it on and it does it eighter every twelve hours or every 24 again thanks you all.

You don't HAVE to be with your dog 24/7. What type of essential service are you providing where you need to be immediately directly at her side for 24/7?

The dog is in your house right? So how is that going to consume so much of your time that you can't run upstairs and feed the fish for a couple of mins. each day? I'm sure the dog isn't going to spontaneously combust or anything if you leave to feed the fish for a bit. Again, I think you should be more concerned with possibly overfeeding rather than underfeeding. You also don't need to buy an 'autofeeder.' Just put that money in the 'new tank' jar.

Lol i allready have an auto feeder and because of such of a serious injury she has if she even stands up that can potentialy cause her to rupture the screws or what ever they put in there. But im sure oscar and friends wont mind a bit less time with me lol.

Ok well what happens when you go to sleep or go to the bathroom. And at some point in the day your parents will be around...so they can look after the dog for 5 mins while you feed the fish or something. Ah forget it. My head hurts trying to figure this one out.
