After I sent the mail I started thinking that the lack of bbs during my honeymoon will be real hard on the hydra. I put some Flourish in the tank last night. Based on my limited experience that is instant hair algae. Also, last night I got the fry eating frozen Daphnia which the adult apisto's and rams I have had did not care for. Until then all I have fed them is bbs. Tonight, I will see if they will eat some crushed flake. If so, maybe I will have an automatic feeder put some in the tank a few times while I am gone.
