Does anyone know anything about Betta fish? (Japanese fighting fish)

I have one on my desk at work. I am off from Friday through Monday and I don't want to leave him for 4 days without food I usually feed him once in the morning and once at night.

What should i do?????? Should I bring him home?

I had a Beta for 3 years...
My poor beloved Bubbles...

I would take def. him home. 4 days is a bit long.

I have two bettas If you don't want to take him home. They make fish feeders that you can drop in the tank and they slowly release food as the week goes on. I would buy a three or seven day one. I love my little fishies!!!

Wow I didn't know that! My poor MIL used to fish-sit for Bubbles when we went away!

Ok I spoke to my husband, we are going to buy weekend food and I am going to stop here tomorrow morning on my way out to the Hamptons so I can drop it in.

I have two at work as well..one is over a year old now and I have left them for 4 days at least twice...I usually feed them twice the day before and both times they have been fine...They dont need very much food to survive....
