Hello, I have a pair of angelfish in a 29 gallon tank that laid eggs last night so they will be expected to hatch around the 22nd of july. The 22nd is also the day i will be leaving for one week on vacation. So i wanted to know if i could go the week im gone with out someone changing any of the water Thanks.

I would change the water the day before you leave or the day you leave. A week without changing the water isn't that too much of a stretch, and most people only do weekly water changes. So it should be fine. If this is a new Angel pair, they will probably eat the eggs anyway, so there's nothing you can do about that. They will hopefully spawn again, since Angels are known to spawn like demons. During the first few days of spawning it is also recommend to do small tank changes, so they should be good after you leave, if you do.

1 week with no water change should be fine (or just change it on like the 19th)
