Or should i over feed the fish for the next few days and will they be okay
for two weeks with out feed (which i doudt) but i thought i would ask.

That probably wouldn't help. We seldom go on vacation for that long due to
the nature of my husband's business. I wouldn't leave valued fish for 2
weeks without someone coming in to check that the heater is working (for
tropicals) and the filters are running. As for food. I lost some precious
bettas because the fish-sitter misunderstood how much they were to get at
each feeding when we were gone for a week. From now on I'll leave the
amounts-to-feed in pill bottles next to the tanks so there can't be any
misunderstandings. One pill-bottle every other day and no more!

Just to be on the safe side in case a filter fails or fails to start after a
brief power outage (such as we get here) I'll be adding an airstone to each
tank while we're away.
