Default vacation feeding - fish and frog

I would never advise going that long for frogs or fish. Many species
can certainly die without food for 2 weeks. I can't speak for all and I
certainly can't say that I've tried it but even if they survived I
would think their immune systems would be critically compromised. I
doubt the frog would last at all. My personal limit is 4 days.
Anything longer then that and I train a friend or hire a pro.

Hi, I read many older posts which suggest that not giving food for 2
weeks will not harm fish when on vacation. But what about a dwarf frog?
the other denizens in the tank are a couple of guppies, 3 scissors, 2
glass cats, 1 cat fish, 1 algea eater.
