How long without food?

Post by Louie »

Hi all,
Off on my hols on Sunday. I gave a feed on Wednesday this week, but have now stopped. Will give the filters (Easy Pod and Elecro bead filter) a good cleaning on Saturday which will hopefully mean that with the lack of food they should remain clear enough to run until I get back in two weeks. They might block up in the last few days, in which case my son has been told to swith the pump off.
So, the fish will be without food for 17 - 18 days in total at current temperatures. Is this ok?
