For the past week and half, I have been out of town on vacation (December 20-30). Did the fish go without food? Yes and no.

PEX, a cichlid keepers friend
If you keep multiple tanks, PEX pipe can be one of your best friends. It is a very versatile tool to have in your cichlid keeping toolbox. That toolbox post is four years old now, but I still use every item listed there. I could probably add a few more items, but that’s a post for another day. Here I focus on PEX pipe or tubing.
Feeding cichlids while away
With the holidays upon us, I thought about how many cichlidophiles will be traveling. Many of those will be gone long enough to need their fish fed while they’re gone. This sometimes creates problems. I was recently reminded of how often cichlid keepers return home only to find a tank with dead fish.
