Eheim 2208 100w Visitherm, 60L bare tank, 4 swordtails...

How long will this last without having to do a water change? I measure the
food for someone to add to the tank daily, but don't trust them to do the
water changes. Will it be OK for 3-4 weeks?

Are these 4 full grown 5" female swordtails, or your garden variety size
of Swordtail? ;~)

Assuming the tank is cycled, I think they would be fine for a month w/o
w/c's, especially if their food supply was reduced a bit. JMO
