Holidaying?

You can take your dog with you on your vacation but what do you do with your fish?

How do you take care of your fish? Who will feed them, clean the tank, switch on the light and switch it off? Depends on how long you are planning to be away. If your holiday is only for a few days stretching to a week, then don't worry about feeding the fish.

The fish will be fine, may be a little hungry, may be a little leaner, maybe they will turn vegetarian and eat more greens. Just ensure that you feed them well just before you slam the door shut. A longer vacation is a different kettle of fish altogether. Make small portions of the food and persuade one of your neighbours to feed the fish every alternate day.

If you have a single tubelight you can leave it switched on if your aquarium has plants.
