Hey guys

Just wondering what you guys do about feeding your fish while you go away on holidays, I know for my aquarium fish I usually do nothing unless it is longer then a week and they seem to be fine, but just wondering about trout in a AP system?

Would it matter? Or would it just slow the grow rate down slightly for that period and then when returning they would eat slightly more?

Help is appreciated.

Cheers

I would leave them as fish can go weeks without feed. If you've someone else feed^/ check on them be strict about rations and don't leave them with your 5kg bucket just at leave takeaway feed container.

A fish doesn't need to maintain a body temperature. It only uses food for growth. Not feeding them for a while is perfectly acceptable.
