miniatus grouper feeding

[stevieduk]

Hi everybody , I have a nice miniatus grouper about 6 inches in length. had it for around 6 months now and it is a great fish .
my problem is , im going away for 4 days , and cant find any info on how long these fish can go with out being fed. it gets fed every day at the moment , occasionally missing a day. My guru at my local fish store says to get 4 or 5 mollies in the tank , as they will live in saltwater , and let it feed its self while im away.
The other fish in the tank is a large Koran Angle which will eat flake from a auto feeder so that one is no trouble

So has anyone any suggestions or are Mollies the way to go , while im away
by the way before any one says it , my neighbors are away to

It will be fine for 4 days without food. If you put 4 mollies in the tank the grouper isn't going to ration them and only eat 1 a day. He will probably eat all the mollies right away and still go 4 days without food.

Get your grouper on pellets. Check out the link below.
