I’m going on vacation soon and i won’t be able to feed my coral banded shrimp unlike my fish because he only eats frozen fish eggs and i don’t have anyone who can feed him or will be willing to feed him so what do i do? will he be okie for 7 days without food?

Lol I know this is late but he only eats fish eggs because that's what you feed him, trust me he will scavenge if hungry, and, stop spoiling him

Agreed. You have him pampered & spoiled! Lol.

Maybe throw in something meaty right before your trip, like a 1/4 piece of a Silverside with the skin on. That’s a good scavenger item.
