vacation food/ black ghost knife

Question
What do I feed my black ghost knife when I'm away on vacation for a week?  Ususally feed him frozen krill, brine shrimp, etc.  Are regular vacation food tablets appropriate for him?
Thanks for your time and effort!  S.

Answer
Hi S.,
  Personally I never use the vacation food tablets.  Your best option is to get someone to feed your fish once in the middle of the week.  If you can't do that, just don't feed it for a week.  DO NOT put in a lot of food before you go to "tide him over".  It will rot and cause much worse problems than if he goes hungry for a week.
