How to Feed Your Fish While Away From Home
Owning pets is something that everyone does during their lifetime, or it is something that everyone wishes to do at some point in their life. However, normally people tend to end up buying a cat, a dog or fish.
Now out of the three, it is safe to say that fish are the easiest pets to keep and maintain. This is because they don’t require any space, attention or a lot of food. They are cheap and easy to handle.
However, despite them being very different to cats and dogs, people tend to end up getting attached to their fish, this is why when they go on vacations, they tend to try and figure out numerous ways by which they can actually feed their fish and make sure that they don’t end up eating each other, or dying of starvation.

Now before you try and think of a billion ways to getting your fish to be fed, the first and most basic thing that you can do, is to ask your neighbours or your friends if they will be able to go to your place and feed the fish twice a day.
This is a very easy way to ensure that your fish are fed, and with you asking someone who you trust, things might not prove to be such a big problem for you after all. -

Should your friends and neighbours refuse to help you, you can go on and hire someone to visit your house and do the job for you. Now the problem here is that you are going to be paying someone to visit your house while you are away, so there is no guarantee of what this stranger might do in your absence.

There are now devices available which can actually feed your fish without requiring any human input. What you do, is that you go on and put about a weeks worth of food in the device and then set a timer on it. This timer will go on and drop food in a specific quantity at these hours.
The good thing there is that you won't have to ask anyone to go to your place to feed your fish for you. However, the bad thing is that the machine could malfunction and either give your fish no food, or a lot of food in one go. -

You can also always ask your local vet to take the fish in and look after them while you are away. This is the most expensive thing to do, but it is also probably the safest thing to do as well.
