Question
hi
I am going on a vacation. I want to know how long can a fish goldfish or bala shark stay alive without food ..if not fed.. thanks

Answer
Hi Kelly,

Many experienced fish keepers routinely leave their charges for two to three days without making any provisions for feeding. Almost any fish can go that long without fish food (more about that later, as well). However, if you're going away for longer, some preparation may be needed. I suggest you try an automatic fish feeder, some can keep your fish fed for up to 7 days, while others last up to 20.
