Small fish (guppys and tetra) need food every 3 days to stay charging
things like cichlids and big goldys can go a month
not a good idea
but when fish get bounced around the world they somethimes go longer than
that!!
water is still top priority not food
shame ya can't seal the top and leave a tray of maggots floating
sure to provide a nice hatching feast
w000t
some fish shops will hire you out a fish feeder

I imagine once one fish died the water would foul pretty quickly and
badness would occur at an accelerated rate.
==========================
That's probably what happened. One or two of the lager cichlids died and
really fouled the water, killing the rest of the fish. They were
understandably very upset. Since they travel so much they didn't replace
them. They also didn't replace the ancient old cat when she passed away,
now that Mom is not available to watch pets for them.
