Hi /an/. So I'm leaving college for spring break (1 week) on Saturday morning, and I just realized I didn't make plans for my betta fish. Could I like, leave some kind of vegetable or plant in the tank to let it eat over the next 7 days? I don't have any friends, so I can't ask anyone to take care of it. Sorry in advance if this is a super stupid question, I'm new to owning a fishy.

Bettas are carnivorous so it wouldn't eat a plant, maybe get an automatic fish feeder?
>>
Bettas don't eat plants, they eats bugs and meat like blood worms and tiny shrimp.
>A BettaMaticĀ® Automatic Daily Betta Feeder or Betta Banquet Blocks will help you feed your Betta for up to a week when you are out of town!

I considered that, but there aren't any pet stores that have aquarium stuff near me, amazingly enough, and anything I order won't arrive in time.
>>
>>2327932
Well your kinda shit outa luck anon. Where did you originially get him from? That place should have a block next to the regular pellets.
>>
>>2327926
most fish can easily go a week without food.
>>
>>2327932
Amazon prime?
>>
I wouldn't worry about it anon. Just feed it as soon as you can

A tiny little store called Aqua World in Chinatown. I don't remember seeing any, but I suppose I'll have to go check tomorrow.

>>2327935
My bus leaves at 9:30 in the morning, and there's no guarantee the package will come on time.

This is my last resort if I can't find any alternative. I could technically bring him home, but there are other issues with that.

He'll probably be alright man. Hungry. But alright.

Just make sure his temps aren't going to drop randomly or get too hot, make sure he's got clean water in his tank, and you should be good.
>>
Hey OP, if you are feeding him dry pellets or dry food, might want to soak them for a few minutes in his aquarium water when you get back, so he doesn't eat a shit ton and have them swell up in his stomach. It's usually a good idea to do that in general anyway to prevent bloat.
>>
>>2327948
There's a heater and a filter in the tank. If I can't find betta blocks tomorrow, I'll just leave him.

>>2327950
I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
>>
RIP in peace fish

You're a lot better leaving them to fast until you get back than having some retard dump half the food into the tank and ruining your water parameters.
