Young clownfish feeding

[OsiViper]

Right now I have a pair of young clownfish. I'm feeding them a small amount 3 times a day because they don't eat much at one time.

My question is, I was thinking of going to visit family and I'm curious how long they will be okay with no feeding? They are in a 20 gal bare bottom quarantine tank.

Lol i went around the house trying to find something to compare their size to.

Probably about the size of a 9v battery.. Lol.. Maybe a tad longer.
I tried measuring them but they were afraid of it.

That is about 2 inches. They can last for weeks without food, not that I recommend to not feed them for a week. You really need to keep light and salinity stable but not too worry about food if you go for less than 5 days. If your tank sitter come by, feed them but otherwise they don't need feeding. I portion the food out and package them for each time the sitter need to feed the tank. More than a few tanks crash when tank sitter over feed the tank.
