Can someone suggest a good feeder?

If you give your fish a large meal before you leave they will be fine for a few days. Some people do this for up to a week even.

How long will you be gone? And how big are the fish? The larger the fish, the longer it can go between meals.
Lol in 8 months the longest I've gone without feeding is 1 day.
Knowing how long really will help.
And if it is an extended amount of time do a water change the day you leave.

I was away last weekend. When I came back last night, one of the fish was literally starving and jus sitting at the bottom. Once I fed it took about an hour for it to become active again.

Are you positive it wasn't just tired/resting? I've never lost a single fish from leaving them for less than a week, let alone a weekend. It could also be a parasite problem or something....
Yup that might be true. I've a connected tanks . the one in the onlit one was sitting at the bottom.
