How long can Fish survive?

[badsector]

Going to be away for 10 days soon.

Any idea whether fish could survive without food that long?

My tank has no pods for them.

I prefer not to use a autofeeder because i only have 3 fishes. autofeeder dispense too much at a time causing algae problem.

I used scotchtape to make the auto feeder box hole smaller to limit the output. Just trial and error to the amount of output dispensed to your desirable level.

no problem.... fish can survive 10day without food..

but.... if there are bigger fishes in there, once they get hungry, they might attack the smaller one as they get aggressive..

so now before u go away, try not to feed them every day.. maybe every 2-3 day once.. then when u away, they will be kind of get use to it..

U can also use rubberband to make the food dispense hole smaller too. 10 days is abit too long imo. 1 week still ok

Subjective..what fish & size n how mature the tank (peck algae?)?.. I would suggest to get autofeeder set at minimum feed (if really scare overfeed) once a day..I will prefer my fish stomach to b convex than concave, look better n healthier too..cheers

If you can only can't control the volume of feed each time ,maybe you can adjust from two feeding to one ect..

Mine i use a tape to fix it between zero and 1.. Then try and error on a pc of paper. Mine have 6fishes.. But i have a blue tank which is like a vacumm cleaner.. How much u drop it will also finish it up.. Understand ur main concern is algae.. No choice.. It either u do frequent wc when u come back or risk the health of ur fishes.. I would chose option 1 as these are all living things. If u dun have foods for 10days, can u survive?
