Matt-

I didn't feed mine for that reason....knew they could
go without food for at least 2 weeks......and knowing
the food would casue waste....and since no
filter...well it makes sence, then to not feed. I plan
though to invest  in those battery operated pumps for
the future though.....

Gladly to my tanks aren't to heavily crowded....

Trish

PS Thanks for the info though!
