How long have ya’ll let your fish go without food? I’m on short trip right now and they’re all going roughly two days with no one watching them. It’s my first time leaving them like this I’m curious if others leave their fish for a couple days or more at a time? Everything I’ve read says it’s fine, in fact some people would rather not feed the fish for a week than trust someone else to feed.

I have left my fish alone for a week at the most with no food. Yes, they were hungry when I came back but they were all still doing well even the small tetras. You shouldn't worry about 2 days with no food they will be just fine. Keep in mind fish don't just eat the food you give them but other micro organisms like algae.

I find it entertaining to see fish behavior change when you don't feed them daily. They actually start foraging and moving around parts of the tank they normally wouldn't. As opposed to just sitting mid-water waiting for the next meal to fall on top of them.
