It is and it isn't. As long as regular maintenance is being done it is possible for them to be self sustaining enough to leave for days or even a week or more at a time. My big aquarium (the 120 gallon one) is set on timers for the lights and food. I do hand feed them a number of different foods but we routinely leave for 4-8 days and they do just fine in that amount of time. The limiting factor for how long we can be gone is how fast the water evaporates. I lose nearly a gallon a day most days so after a week the water has lowered quite a bit.
