How do you feed your fish when you're on vacation?

Answer 1

There are three approaches. 1. get a friend or neighbour to feed your fish (not recommended they often overfeed!) 2. Get a feeder block. A produc that the fish pick at over a few days. Not great, but better than nothing. 3. Get an automatic feeder.. This is the best option. You can get the feeder blocks or an automatic feeder online at www.bigalsonline.com

Answer 2

For longer vacations, you can use automatic fish feeders. If its just two days, you can buy a block of feed and drop it into the tank. Fish can feed on it for a few days to a week. You can get them at any pet store with fish food.

Answer 3

There are many things you can do if you go on holiday, I have a fish and my relatives come and feed my fish everyday but you can buy 'holiday food' which is a block of food which you put in the tank and the fish will feed off that. You can get all different sizes of them and they usually last quite a while. Hope that helps.

Answer 4

Ask somebody who you trust and believe is a responsible, caring human being to take care of your goldfish while you are away. I would advise to specifically explain how to care for the goldfish and leave a notepad behind for the person. The notepad should include step by step instructions on how to care for the fish on each day that you are away. Also it is helpful to invite the person over the day before and personally show them exactly how much to feed the fish, how to feed them, how often to feed them and what to do in case of an emergency (i.e. if the aquarium springs a leak while your away).

Answer 5

Ask your pet supplier for a food cube (lasts 2-4 weeks).
