2 days without food?

[shelbyzman]

some fish can go a couple weeks without food, (not that I would try that!)
2 or 3 days, will be fine.
Also, it's better for them not to have any food than for someone who doesn't know what their doing to overfeed them.

what fish do you keep Joshmac8?

Thanks for asking! I have a 5 inch RTC x TSN, 5 inch Florida Gar, and 6 1/2 inch senegal bichir in a 75 growout.

Those fish should be fine for a couple of days... but your gonna need a upgrade soon.

They should be fine. I've let one of mine go for 2 weeks without food, and it was just fine. I don't recommend doing that, but it's happened (trying to switch to frozen).

Better to not feed, than to over feed in your situation.
