on monday im going out of town for 12days. im doing a WC today and will do one on sunday again. my gf will still be at my apartment and has offered to feed everyone while im gone. im thinking a feeding every 4 days would suffice for them and not make the tank too dirty. or just 2 total feedings or none. what are you opinions. the longest i've left w/o feeding was 3 days.
 
Every few days would be fine.

I left for 35 days once and lived with my Father at the time. I asked him to feed while I was gone. I had 2 tanks at the time and one of which he fed and the other he didn't. I still don't know why, he claims he thought it was empty. It had a small Cat and a Jaguar Cichlid in it that survived with no food, water top off, or anything for over a month. Poor guys. the Jag was never the same after that and he was terrified of light after not seeing any for a month except what light came through the blinds.
