How long can fish live without food?
hey I got a question for you guys..
I am leaving for 4 days and there is nobody who can watch over my fish during that time.. so my question is, can they live for 4 days without any food if I feed them really well before I leave??
They are used to every other day feeding, but 4 days is a long time.
fish list: 2 clowns, anthias, r. gramma, sixline and 4 hungry shimp.
so can they live without killing each other?

I'd worry about topping off more than feeding (although what kind of fish are they?)
oops just noticed the fish list in the 1st post - no food should be fine I might worry about the Anthias though maybe a feeder for him ?
