If I were to go on holidays how do I feed my goldfish?



Back when I still had goldies (*sniffle*) I always kept a lot of elodea
plants in the tank. One time I was gone for about 10 days and despite
instructions and entreaties to suitemates the fish were not fed. When I
came back the fish had nibbled all the plants down to nothing. The fish
seemed fine, though. In retrospect, maybe not getting fed was a good
thing considering no water changes happened during that period.

So depending on how long you are gone, having live plants in the tank
might be an option, instead of those horrible pyramid-shaped holiday
feeder things.
