Unless he is a baby... I'm sure he will be fine. If you have somebody feeding him feed him lightly. Maybe twice a week or even once a week. So short answer... Yes.

he's size is 9 inch. and i have a automatic feeder ready for him.

I suggest that you set feeder for low out put, and personally I would add a sponge filter for extra bio-filtration. The aquarium water is going to evaporate if you didn't know that already. Would not advise leaving longer than 2 weeks.

I have left my fish for a month without a problem. If the tank is lightly stocked it will be fine.

Agreed with previous posts.I have gone away on two weeks vacation and came back to little to no issues...needless to say I woried about my fish the whole time.

As you may know, it also depends on the stock you have in there w/the aro and what your water parameters could end up to be with two weeks of no WC.

Having said this, I agree with others. For reference, I have ~10-11" Lei lightly stocked in a size tank close to yours. My WC is done every month. I think you will be fine.

He will be fine, reduce the feeding by 50% and make sure you do the water change before you go away,

He will be fine for two weeks. Fish can go weeks without eating, so don't feed him as much.
