Rather than keep bothering the neighbours, how long is it
safe/responsible to leave this kind of tank unattended.


Depends on the fish. An adult fish who eats live food can go a week without. A
butterfly typically needs to be fed every day. Others can go 3-4 days without
any real harm. One thing you might do is get a "lettuce clip" and put some
Romaine lettuce in the tank. Fish that are fond of vegetation will pick at this
for days.

"Naked" means you ain't got no clothes on; "nekkid" means you ain't got
no clothes on - and are up to somethin'.
