Going on vacation would my Clowns be ok?

[CrazyDuck959]

Hey, I’m going on vacation Friday through Sunday. I can feed my fish Friday morning and Sunday night. But in between I can’t feed them (Obviously). Would the Clownfish x2 and my Fire Shrimp x1 be ok for the time period of about 48 hours with no food? Or should I ask one of my friends to come and feed them. I would prefer not to have one of my friends feed them (One of my friends is available to do it). But if it’s needed I can. Looking forward to y’all’s responses.

They will be fine for that amount of time, any longer and I'd consider a timed auto feeder

 

[Nemo&Friends]

I think it would be ok. I have done it once.

Feed them good before you leave and they will survive without a problem.

If the clowns are babies (ie. under 1.25 inches), I would have someone feed them while you're gone. If they are larger, it'll be fine. I hope that this helps!

How long has the tank been established?

They will be fine for 2 days regardless, but if you've been up and running for a bit. The pods and algae will be more than enough for 48+ hours.

Since January

Since January

I'm imagining you have a good pod population by now. The clowns will snack on them as needed, as they probably already do.

Cool! Ty for your response, lifts a weight of my chest!

If they get hungry they can just have the shrimp for dinner....

Jk...they will be fine but autofeeders are cheap to buy.

Up to a week is fine after that an autofeeder

I go on vacation for a solid week once a year. During this time, I have someone feed my fish just 2 or 3 times spread through the week. Never had a problem. This includes a pair of clowns that are now 6 years old.

 

[MichaelP]

2 days is fine. I’ve gone 3 days may times with no issues. Anymore then that and I get someone to feed.

 

[Baldguy]

I've been gone a week several times with no problems.

 

[A Young Reefer]

It will be fine.
I went 4 days without an auto feeder no issues.
