I'm going away for a week and was wondering what would be the best solution for feeding my fish while I'm away. I know having someone fish-sit is the best but that's just not possible!

If you can't find someone to fish sit for you...look into the automatic feeders.

Thanks. I've been doing some reading on them. I think I'll pick one up today.

I can leave my fish for a week without worrying about feeding. Just feed them good before you leave. Then when you get back feed them good again and do a water change. If you have plants in the tank, they will eat all the micro critters that grow on them.

i bought an automatic feeder. dont buy them, they dont work.

basically, an automatic feeder turns super slow and makes a revolution every 12 hours. when it turns at a certain point, it dumps a set amount of food out of a tube. through my experiences, if you place the automatic feeder above your aquarium, evaporation will condense in the feeder tube and will not let the food out.
