I'm going to Puerto Rico in a week and I'm wondering if I could lead my fish alone for four or five days. I have to do a water change the day I leave, but do I Need to have someone come and feed them, I think they would be okay, I just want a second opinion.
 
It really depends on your fish. If you have some younger more sensitive fish, then you probably don't want to leave them that long. I feed my african cichlids once every 3 days. I wouldn't worry at all about not feeding them for a week. My angels are still juvies though, and I feed them twice a day. I don't think I'd feel comfortable not feeding them for more than 3 days. If they're all adult fish, and not something like discus, I don't think you'll have any issues.
