How Long Can My Fish Go Without Being Fed

[bristlenoseitplecoman]

Hey All! I am going on vacation this weekend and so are most of my friends. I will be gone from friday night to monday afternoon. Can my fish survive this long without being fed? I have 1 BN pleco, 5 cory cats, 11 black neon tetras, and a snail. I have heard they can survive 2 days but what about 3? I plan to give them a big meal before I leave and my cories are a little chubby so i think they might be fine.

An few days will be no problem at all. When I left mine for 3 weeks I returned to find that all of my fry had become food but otherwise the fish looked fine.

They will be fine for at least 2 weeks, 3 days is no problem

Yup, they'll be fine. Most fish can easily go 1-2 weeks no problem, sometimes more.

I'm going camping fer the long weekend.. I has a female aboot to pop, so the plan is to move her to the other tank before I leave.. That way the beta will eat..
