Traveling with a Betta

[b3tta]

Hi guys,

I'll be going to WV for a couple of days and it'll take about 5 hours to get there by car. I was wondering how I can take my betta fish along with me. Any advice?

Thanks in advance :thumb:

Well generally not such a good idea. Any reason you couldn't leave it at home?

[b3tta]

I just thought it wouldn't be a good idea to leave him home for four days without food. Would he be ok for that long without having anything to eat?

[travie]

Your betta would be fine going for 4 days without food. I think members have gone 2 weeks without feeding their fish while on vacation. 4 days will be fine.

4 days will be fine. No worries at all!

How about holiday food?

[geminidragn]

Four days will be fine.

Just make sure you give them their regular feedings just before you leave so they'll have something in their system.

They can go for a week without food.

Holiday food doesn't work very well and will mess up the water.

Nothing as good as a bit of diet to get slim again :ezpi_wink1:

I've found the holiday food never works the way they claim it will...
getting a neighbour to drop in and give them a feed was always the best way.
