I'm not sure about the fry but most juvenile to adult sized fish will get through those days of fasting with no problems.

Ya they will be fine but like krich said the fry may have some trouble. An auto feeder with a few ground up flakes should do the trick for them though:)

Hello; 1 cm is around half an inch. The fry should handle three days regardless. I would fed them well the day you leave being careful to not feed too mucjh and possibly cloud the water.
I have used automatic feeders with success before. I suggest setting one up a week or so ahead of time. They can sometimes need adjustments which has taken a few days.
Good luck

I'm glad you said success because auto feeders have worked for me and sometimes do not. In this situation I would say no problem using one.

They'll be fine, I travel a little for work and have left several types of fry for 3-4 days without food many times. (peacocks,tangs, ect)
