Hi @David Willard Jr, welcome to the forum. I would hold off. As you already know the med trio requires the week treatment without waterchanges. The concern when feeding is ammonia of course- Cory says it's ok to feed 1x the 4th or 5th day this is the reason why (ammonia) So if I were in your shoes, I would hold off. Fish can be fine without food for weeks. It will be fine. Just watch for ammonia!
Ammonia! I did not even think of that as the reason. Makes total sence now. I will just ignore those glaring eyes for a few more days so as not to risk it. Thank you for the responses and the welcome fish fam.

I purchased some fish from Mike's Cichlids and they are beautiful. My question is I have found conflicting statements on feeding during the first week while in the med trio.
I hadn't read the no feeding on Cory's instructions and fed them on day 2 since they are in with the L144a Plecos and some snails that helped get the tank up and running. I did not feed them yesterday but the misplaced guilt of not feeding them as I pass the tank today and see that "feed me" look has got me. What should I do? Stick to the remaining days without feeding since I know they can go awhile in reality. Or do I just resume normal feeding to appease my guilt...lol. I am also concerned as they were "acclimated" by Mike's, which I assume means they weren't fed over the weekend to minimize ammonia during their transit here arriving on Tuesday. Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.
Also, I have successfully completed the med trio process multiple times even though I fed them, so I am not sure why I am so worried. LoL.

Yeah, I trust Cory for sure but I think we all question things we are not comfortable with even when given by an educated professional. I have a list of Dr's I trust with my life yet I sometimes question their directives...lol. They finished out their fast and are good and healthy post water change.
Thank you all for the advice.
