OK, so I'm a freshy guy. My brother has a 30 gal SW with a morray eel, ungulated trigger, and a grouper. He had to leave unexpectedly and asked me to feed his fish. Problem is I don't have a key yet, he is sending it in the mail. How long can these guys go without food? I know my fish can go a few days, and I would like to assume that is true for salties. If that is not the case he may be getting a window replaced, as I do not want to starve the poor things. Any advice?
 
just make sure you dont feed it to much, since nobody will be doing tank matinence. those fish can produce alot of waste. (i'm suprise they all fit in a 30gallon tank)
 
They are all very small (1"-3"), and get traded back or given to our sister with a 200 gal reef. He has pre-made bags of frozen food, and will only be gone for a week. I think he just did a big clean a few days ago, but I'll ask him what his schedule for that is. Thanks for your input.
