Going away for 2 weeks

by asher

What do you do when you go away for a week or two? I'm going to be going away at some point in the next couple months and I'm not sure who to have look after my fish. :?

When you're going away for 1 week I wouldn't worry too much as fish can go that long without eating and if you do a water change before you leave the water quality should be fine too.

When it's 2 weeks I would get someone I trusted to feed the fish but I'd write instructions and make sure they understood not to overfeed. A lot of people will put each day's worth of food in a baggie and hide the rest of the food so that their pet sitter can't accidentally or intentionally feed more than they're supposed to.
