Im goin away on the 26th and wont come back until the 30th. If the last time I feed them is the 25th and then I feed them again on the 30th should they be fine?

going four days without food should not hurt your fish

Reefneck · 12-21-2006, 06:20 AM

Agreed. They'll be fine.

Ice · 12-21-2006, 07:46 AM

Should be OK.

I leave mine over the weekends all the time Bear, the only ones I worry about are the babies, I make sure they have Java Moss so they can munch on the microbs that live in it.
Have fun on your trip

Reefneck · 12-21-2006, 12:54 PM

harif87 · 12-21-2006, 02:05 PM

Reefneck · 12-21-2006, 02:48 PM

lol, I knew you were not being serious.

harif87 · 12-21-2006, 02:52 PM

Haha, just had to make sure

mr.dark-saint · 12-22-2006, 07:18 AM

I've gone two weeks (and a few times three) and the fish were all fine. I do a water change a few days before a long departure and take off. But just a long weekend I wouldn't even think twice (while gone).

**Fishfirst** · 12-22-2006, 11:55 AM

lol... harif, just so he doesn't over feed, create a calendar with feedings every other day, then package food in small ziplocks with dates on them. My dad had a tendence to do that while I was gone... man did that not work out or what!

I feed my fish mostly frozen foods, so im going to advise him by the cube
