How Many Days Can A Betta Go Without Food

[killudead]

I have a betta that i keep at my desk and as Thanksgiving is coming, we will be for 4 days. I will not have access to him.
I dont like the idea of leaving him there with no food, or i can try to bring him home for a holiday.
do you think he will be ok or bring him home?

I've heard that a betta can go up to 2 weeks without food. But if you leave him will he be able to stay warm?

away for 4 days is fine, as long as the heater is not turned off, do a 100% water change and one good meal before you leave and he should be good to go.

ok, well at least i have a general direction.

I had a sick betta go about six weeks without eating and he came back in the end, four days will not be a problem
