Fourteen days without feed is not a weekly fasting recommendation
The evidence library is allowed to change in public. This page preserves the revised boundary, why it moved and which guides were affected.
What changed
The feeding guide now includes direct adult cellular evidence from a 14-day no-feed experiment and separates oxidative-stress recovery after re-feeding from any claimed husbandry benefit.
Why it changed
The study used isolated 250 mL containers, suppressed algae and removed excrement. ROS-positive cell means rose after 14 days without feed and declined after 7 to 14 days of re-feeding, but the paper did not test a weekly fast, a normal biofilm-rich aquarium, survival, growth, molting, reproduction or a re-feeding schedule. Assay sample mapping is incomplete and MnSOD treatment differences were qualitative.

Affected practical guides
A public change is not automatically a retraction. A source may be added, a scope narrowed, a gap refined or an error corrected. The current guide and registry record own the current wording.
