Ok, next week I'm leaving on Saturday for Alberta and coming back the next Sunday. So my 7 bettas will be without food for 7 days (I have 8 bettas, but my other female is in a community tank and she eats what the other fish eat). My Nana (grandma) is coming in, but she already has to take care of ALL my other fish, my 4 budgies, my cockatiel, 2 cats AND my dog (the neighbor is helping with the dog actually). I think it would be too complicating to feed the bettas, because some need the normal sized pellets, some need the smaller ones, the lid on the divided tank is very hard to open, there's a chance that they might jump out of the tank to grab the food if she doesn't feed them quick enough, they might get constipated with only dry pellets (don't want to make her feed frozen) and those are just some of the reasons. Sooo...I've had a sick betta go a month without food before, so I don't think just 1 week will be a problem? What do you guys think?
