Need some answers quite quickly, as by 5pm i'll know if I need to go into hospital for tests for a weird thing i've got going on atm Sad

I don't want anyone tampering with my tanks if i'm away as last time it was stressfull and they were overfed.

Today, my fish have had a good feeding of blood and black worms and have been having pellets 2x daily the past few days. Will it be ok to leave them without food for a few days? Realllllly panicking now Sad

ok Here we go you can leave your betta's for a week without food so they should be absolutely fine as long as you are sure of your water quality and obviously you give them a good feed before you go which you have Smile dont worry
