    I am going home for thanks giving saturday morning and not coming back until sunday night. I was wondering if my Betta and frogs would be ok without eating for this time?
    I don't have an automatic feeder, but I've heard they can go about 2 weeks? is that true?

    You can get those fish food pyramids, they dissolve into pellets. They make a 3 day version which should work fine.

    That's what I do with my freshwater tanks.

    I love the tank, by the way :)

    I don't think I have the option of going to buy one. Right now, it's either take the betta home, or leave it be for a week.

    Taking it home would be really hard because I already have tons of things, but if I were to leave it here would it be ok?

    thanks btw
