How long can my betta fish go without food?

I’m getting a betta fish but I will be going out of town for a week. I’ve done some research and vacation food blocks wont work because my tank doesn’t have a filtration system. I’ve heard that he can survive for up to two weeks but others say only four days. Will my betta be okay going 7 days without food?

How many of you have betta fish, and if so what living conditions do you provide for them?

I just got a betta fish yesterday from walmart. Right now I only have a 1 gallon tank with rocks in the bottom, no heater or filter, or plants. It is doing better than it was in the little cup in came in. However, I’m sure it needs more. I was just wondering what other people did for their betta fish?

How do you treat and oxygen starved betta fish?

My betta fish is gulping at the air, floating at the surface of the water, thrashes about when startled and wont eat. I found out on a healthy betta website that he is oxygen starved. I already have a well working pump, but he still isn’t getting enough oxygen, for some reason. I tried putting ice baggies in his tank and turning off lights, but this isn’t working. How do I treat him?

How to know if my betta fish is bloated?

My betta fish’s scales in some parts are white and the part right after his head is swollen. Is he bloated? And if he is, then what do I do???
And by the way, the betta fish in my profile picture is Napolean, the betta fish I am asking about. Do you see those white spots on him? And they are NOT white scales.
