Fast for a day?

I turn the filter off when I am feeding mine, or put food in the corner far from the filter where the current is slow.
I also turn the filter off when I am feeding and I also feed in shifts. Small amount of flakes first (some big some crushed). I let the little ones go to town on the flakes and then wait for about 10 minutes then I add a normal portion of frozen blood worms (one cube) or a similar sized bundle of freeze dried shrimp. This is usually gobbled up. Late at night, just before I turn off the lights and turn on the power head I drop three algae waffers for the pleco.
I dont see the need to turn off filters and stuff...i feed in 3 small increments spaced about 2 minutes apart....i portion 1 serving out into a lid, and from there put in a small pinch, wait and make sure not too much goes to the bottom...add the 2nd small increment....wait then decide if im going to put in the 3rd depending on how much was eaten and how much landed on the bottom. If i dont have time to watch and monitor dinner time they get one small portion.
fasting? I usually dont have time on the weekend to even look at my fish so they usually fast one to two days over the weekend

I feed every other day. That ensures that I am not overfeeding, and also ensures that all the food gets eaten. And it allows the fish to clean out their digestive systems. I feed the top and middle dwellers first, usually mid to late afternoon, then just before lights out, I feed the plecos, farlos, corys, loaches, etc.
