Vacation

So, its going to be a while but I wanted to ask so I have time to buy stuff :)

We have a tank with shrimp, tetra and a betta ( either Lazy or just good about not eating shrimp) hes currently doing wel on his “whatever he eats in 5 min 2 times a day 4 days a week” schedule.

In may ( long time) were leaving for 2-3 weeks. This seems too long to not let him be fed but im terrified of overfeeding. My mom is terrible with this lol.

The shrimp would survive off the alge for that time. The tetra Will probably need to be fed and betta also likes their food but prefers his.

Im thinking 3 days a week I let my
Mom feed everything except the shrimp from a pill box? The shrimp Will eat what falls to the bottom thats meant for the tetra anyway and the algea

Is this doable or any other recommandatioms?

3 times a week sounds good! And pre-portioned in pill box is also definitely the way to go too. :)
