I have to leave town for 5 days and have nobody to feed my fish. Any suggestions?
 
It's not ideal but they won't die from lack of food.If you could get somebody to feed them just once that would suffice.Many are under the misconception that fish HAVE to eat every day.Thats not strictly true.Take holding Mbuna females for example.They last 3 weeks without eating.Just goes to show you doesn't it :)
 
And it will give your fish a reason to clean the substrate looking for food! It's usually a good idea to skip a day or 2 in feeding every now and again, 5 days won't hurt them at all!
