Hi,
Both my husband and I have to go on a business trip for 1.5 days (leaving early one day and coming back late the other - so, essentially two days, 3 feedings, I can feed them early before I leave, but we'll be back after dark the next day and they'll already be asleep). I have a trigger and a blenny, both well-fed, who are currently being fed twice a day. A friend of mine, also a fish keeper and actually studying fish for her research, said it should be fine to leave them without food for that time and she rather advised against any "vacation" drops or any of the like as she assumes they'd fight over it, which might get nasty with a trigger. But, I'm also somewhat worried about a hangry trigger...
Now, I just wanted to double-check with your experiences if it's fine to leave them starving for so long. Should I turn of the lights (currently on a timer) to decrease activity?
Thanks for any advice
