Can my cockatoo apistogrammas live 3 days without food?

Can my cockatoo apistogrammas live 3 days without food?
I am really worried because I don't want them to die when I get back home.
Has anyone got any experience?

Up to a week is fine. Getting somebody to do it for you leads to trouble a lot of times cause people who don't know what they are doing overfeed.

Fish go without food when they are shipped.

I have left my cockatoo apistogramma for ten days once and more than 3 days multiple times.
I do have established tanks with a few scruffy plants moss etc.

I would be concerned about very young fry under 6 mm / 1/4 inch.

Don’t go putting any extra food in.
