AquaKey Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Just got a Tomini Tang, it's in a 10G QT and doing great. No meds, eating everything I give it. I found out I'm going on a surprise birthday trip which means it would be without food for 3 days. It's a 5 day trip but would feed it when I leave and feed when I get back. I plan to "bulk it up" with lots of food this week before we head out. Question for all of you - would you just let it be or try an auto feeder? I worry it would dump too much in and foul the water, killing it. Is 3 days without food risky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarger16 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I looked around and a few posts say you should be ok with 5 days if its a healthy tang but is highly suggested to get an auto feeder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce00 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I wouldn’t worry if the tang looked fat and healthy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaKey Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 It's eating everything I throw at it so that's good, I'm loading it up. I also pulled some bio media from the DT to keep water quality up and prevent any ammonia spikes while I'm gone. Plan is to leave it without food while I'm gone, thanks!
