Hi, i have cleared out my community tank and rescaped , recycled it ready for Malawi cichlids.
Whilst i would happily leave the previous occupants (Rams, neons etc) unfed from Friday until Sunday if i was away for a weekend is it ok to do the same with Malawi and Mbuna in particular?
The community tank got fed once a day and missing out on a couple of days feeding didn't seem to be a problem but i have seen numrous threads here where people say they feed 3 times a day in some cases, equating to a lot of missed meals over a weekend.
Are some Mbuna better able to cope than others in this respect? Im thinking of Saulosi and one or two other species in my 55 (UK) Gallon tank.
Thanks
