Length Of Time Fish Can Go W/o Eating?

I am going on a long weekend vacation coming up. Will the fish be ok not getting fed for 4 days? I know there are other options, I am just running out off time. They are usually feed twice a day.

fish should be fine without food for 4 days, some can go for weeks. Maybe just feed them a bit extra day you go ?

My family lives 4 hours away from us and we frequently go see them for a few days. I'll feed them a bit extra for a few days before we go. Yours should be fine as long as they're not suject to bloat...such as troephus (sp) species or something that are touchy like that.

I will go away for up to 7 days without worrying about feeding arrangements for my fish. Anything longer than that and i will arrange for someone to come in and feed them. To be honest i think a starvation/diet period occasionally does them good.
