I don't use autofeeders:
1) Feeding fish is half the fun. Why automate it?
2) Whenever someone walks to the tank, the fish always used to hang out at the corner of the tank where the autofeeder was. In fact, they would hang out there regularly and not explore the rest of the tank and it was annoying. Even my CBB used to hang out there and he doesn't even eat the flakes there! He wouldn't scavenge the rocks like he used to. Its a pavlovian conditioning that I don't want.
3)Besides, on vacation? Maybe fasting for a day or so is a good thing and quite natural.
