	Vaction and bettas
pugperson Fish Addict Posts: 877 Kudos: 953 Votes: 293 Registered: 16-May-2003	I know this has been discussed before, but can someone answer quickly. I am planning on about a week vacation this month, and I am wondering if my bettas will survive without being fed for a week? Any advice?

If you can get someone to stop by one day of the time you're away that will help. There is much debate over the feeder blocks, and I'd guess getting an automatic feeder might be out of the question for many bettas . ^_^

They should be fine. If it would make you feel better you could have someone stop in to check on them every so often. HTH a little, Stella
