how long can fish survive w/o food?

[oscarkb]

I will be out of town for a week for spring break and there will be no one here to watch over my fish. Will it be ok to leave them for a week w/o food?

what kind of fish do you have ...

 

[water_baby83]

Depends on the fish. Can you give us a list? Also, do you have fresh/salt.

This is for freash fish

But to answer your question in general, the majority of fish can go 2 weeks without food. To answer your question in detil you most post the fish and its environment. If your going to be gone for say a week and a half you should be fine. I personality would feed them simi-heavily quantity of food leading up to your vacation. Do not over dose.
