I'm looking into getting an automatic fish feeder, especially for when i go away on weekends. Ive also heard that some fish like cichlids like to be fed 4 times a day to keep their environment as natural as possible instead of two big meals... what sort of fish feeders are there out there? i haven't seen any. and do you think it would be necessary to have one?

If you're just going away for a weekend, I would just do a water change and give a good feeding before leaving.

Going without food for a couple days will not harm your cichlids in the slightest. In fact, a short fast is good for them.
