4 Day Vacation

[Himmel]

I am going to bc for four days,
I was wondering what should I do with my bettas?

Do I keep the lights on or off and what do I feed them they need food they get fed 2 or 3 times a day and expect it now. alost I have 2 males in a divided 10 gallon should I put one of them in a 1 gallon tank to prevent jumping into the other side?/


I wish I didnt have to go for 4 days but life dictates that I need to go.

You can get timers for lights at most LFS's, but if you don't want to buy one then just leave your lights off. Leaving them on will stop the fish having a natural rest cycle.

It's up to you about the jumping thing, if the fish in question is a jumper then I would separate them to be safe.

Four days without food won't harm them but it'd be better if you could ask a neighbour/friend to pop in every other day to feed them. Until then, maybe start decreasing their feedings so it isn't such a shock.

They should be fine, even though they are domesticated they still retain some wild traits and in the wild they wouldn't get fed large meals daily.
