I have a 40 gallon breeder that I keep african cichlids and my one figure 8 puffer ( mooglie) in but I am soon to be on vacation for 1.5 weeks so I moved the puffer into my 10 gallon while away. I bought about 15 snails and 6 ghost shrimp to put in while I'm away but was wondering how long they can usually go without food before running into problems. My africans are set up on a good auto feeder and can if needed can go a week with no food but I wasnt sure about the puffer.
