But any way all that i have is a 55 gallon south american/cental american cichlid tank. a 30 gallon with a Geophagus altifrons spec., bala shark(getting bigger tank for him) and a striped rafael that is ancient. And then my last tank is a 30 gallon that pretty much has any fish from a tank before that i took down. Right now its 2 gouramis an acient albino cory, placautimus, buenos aires tetra and i think thats it if i remember right. So yeah pretty much nothing exotic any more.
What are you going to put in the 55?

To tell you the truth i still havent come up with a final list. And i meant to say geophagus abalios instead of geophagus altifrons if you even care wich you probably dont. Any suggestions for my list? I would like things that eat flake pellet if possible or can with stand seven days of not eating.(I go on trips alot) I wanted some kind of butterfly like the saddle back, long nosed or somethig but havent made uo my mind.

Eels can go a while without food... also a dwarf lion. Damsels could be ok too.

For right now fowlr but may eventually turn into a reef if i decide to soend the money on mh but that wont be for awhile so the fish dont need to be reef safe.

A lion would probably learn to eat freeze-dried krill... not sure about pellets. I'd go with a dwarf lion, snowflake eel, a school of chromis or other damsels and one other decent size fish... trying to think of one that could live through your vacation...

yeah i have auto feeders right now which is why i would like to have flake/pellet food. Also would i be able to cut up freeze dried kril so that the feeders could despence it?

If you keep some macro algae in the tank, it may provide a food source while you're gone.

Never used an auto feeder... don't know if it could dispense krill.

of course if we do decide that a lion could survive i would change that list. My next vacation is around spring breakish and im going to texas for about 5-7 days(i dont remeber) and then in june we have a family reunion again for 7 days.

Got it... not sure if it would feed krill. Actually I misunderstood, I was naming fish that could go a week without eating. Your list looks good because they will all eat flake or pellet food.
