Leaving fry w/o food for the weekend

[heresmike]

Is there a rule of thumb as to how big or how old fry should be before they can be safely left w/o food for 2 or 3 days?

I have rainbow fry which are a month old and currently range in size between 1/3" and 1/2".

Anyone?

No clue... I'd probably wait until they're mature (as in sexually mature) but I'm being conservative.

my fry got left without fry food for 3 days when i went away last weekend. we lost one which appears to have disappeared completely but the other 2 are fine (pnly had 3 to start with). they're only 2 weeks old btw

My fish had fry some months ago and i hadn't even realised they were there untill about 2 weeks later (well planted tank). When i realised i started feeding crushed flake but up untill then they must have been surviving ok.
