How to care for fish when on travel

[Gatling]

Hi all!

I was wondering how you guys care for your fish when you travel or are on holiday break? Have your fish survived on an auto-feeder for a week?

I usually dont even use an auto feeder if you have a mature tank and a reasonable bioload I think they should be fine for a week

It depends a little bit on what kind of fish.

A week is a little long, imo, to not feed at all... especially if you have small and active fish.

But, you definitely don't want to set one up right before you go on vacation, but test it out first.
