Vacation Without Food

So I am going away for 5 days and wasn't able to get anyone to feed my fish. Will the fish be ok without food that long or should I expect some to die? If I need to overnight ship an auto feeder I will but don't want to if I'm over worrying. This week I've been feeding more than normal hoping to fatten them up. I plan on doing a 50% water change the day before I leave.

Tank details:
38 gallon tank
Water around 78.5 degrees
Aquaclear 70 filter
4 serpae tetra
6 harlequin rasboras
2 honey gourami
1 tiger platy
4 bandit cory
2 sterbaI cory

Thoughts? Will they be ok or do I need to run out for an auto feeder?

 

I wouldn't feed them for that time your away. Should be fine.

 

just do your WC before you go and as long as its an established cycled tank they will be fine.

 

Had the tank a year so its cycled and established. Lately having some algae issues but gotta do some scrubbing of my decorations

 

I have gone for 5 days in the past and sure they were hungry when I returned but no problem and sometimes a fasting period is not a bad thing. Some of them may even help you get rid of a little bit of algae also....

If you were growing out fry or juveniles it would be another story.....enjoy your trip.

 

Agree, they should be fine, as mentioned do a WC. I know some keepers do not trust anyone to feed because usually they overfeed. Some go away for 2 weeks+. Also, heard of horror stories with the auto feeders.
Enjoy your vacation.
