Not sure, but if you're going away on holiday or something, then get some pest snails and add them into the tank

constant food supply lol

Excellent idea. Thanks

If anyone does however know the answer to my original post that would be great

Most fish can safely manage about 5 days without food, but some predatory fish can sometimes go up to a few weeks without a meal in the wild.

As Esfa recommended, adding quite a large amount snails to the tank before you go would be an excellent way to keep your puffer fed (and entertained) until your return.

Sorry been away, i have left my dwarf puffers for over 7 days before with no problems, they were pretty darn hungry on my return though. snails is a good idea though. remember most of us overfed our fish so a few days off will do them no harm at all.
