Will my fish be ok?

Ive got a 48litre tropical fish tank with tropical fish, put a 2 week feeder block in it, will they be ok if i leave them for an extra 4-5 days? any help , cheers

So you'll be leaving them 18-19 days instead of 14?

I wouldn't risk it, that's nearly another week.

Those feeder blocks mess up the water nicely, would be better off with an automatic feeder like above

well what ever we say will not be of much help to you.

Feeder blocks are really bad for the water and leaving your fish for an extra week is not going to do them any good as they will be quite stressed due to the poor water quality anyway.

get a automatic feeder next time

bye fish

As said, get an auto feeder, blocks are terrible.

Having said that, most common types of tropical fish can happily survive a week or two without being fed, so only necessary for long trips.

They will be more than fine, they will be delicious.
