Not feeding my copperband for 2 days. (Vacation)

[christwendt]

Hello. I have this super health copperband. 6 months now eats like a pig. I just have not had a single day where me and my gf can’t feed her twice a day. I’m planning a trip ( gone Friday - Sunday). I’ll be able to feed Sunday. Will she be okay if I don’t feed her for 2 days? I know they require more feedings that’s why I feed her twice a day. I just don’t know if tank sitter can come and feed. Do you think this species will be okay if I just don’t feed for two days? I’m not worried about the other tank mates I know they are fine.

Poor baby will miss you and be so happy when you return. Feed the cb healthy (chopped clams or other fresh seafood) before you go to reduce the stress while you are away. Every hurricane the fish don’t eat until the storm passes.

I feed him a clam 3 days a week so I’ll take that advice and feed 3x a day right before I leave. I didn’t know if I don’t feed will get super stressed and stop eating when I get back.

I feed mine a clam on the half shell every other day and it’s very fat. I wouldn’t think missing a couple days of food will have any adverse effects.

If he can eat pellets or flakes, get an Eheim automatic feeder for him.

I actually have one that I will use but he doesn’t eat pellet or flake unfortunately.

Wonderful I probably was over thinking it.
