Can a betta live without food for one day?

Answer 1

Not very likely. Beta fish eat in small spurts and should be fed twice a day with very small amounts of food. Do not overfeed (leaving a lot of food so the fish can eat while you are gone) as their water can build to toxic levels of ammonia from the waste. Not very likely.

Answer 2

Yes. And many experienced betta breeders even recommend you skip a day once a week so they can digest everything in their stomachs and not get overstuffed. Their stomachs are quite small for their size and it's easy to overfeed them.

Answer 3

Oh sure, they can last very long without food. Maybe about three days to a week, but I wouldnt suggest you try it just to see. If your going on vacation somewhere, have someone feed it for you or take it with you. If you cant do that, feed it a lot the day before you leave then feed it as soon as you get home.

Answer 4

Clean up the dead guts!

No it won't be dead, just feed it as soon as you get home.

Answer 5

It will do it no good at all but it will survive. If the fish is to be left alone the biggest risk to the fish is the lack of water changes/quality if it is in a tiny container.

Answer 6

3 weeks because that is how anything can live with out food

Answer 7

A week plus, during which time it will pick at what it can in the tank. I wouldn't recommend it tho.
