Feeding Fish While on Vacation
Sure you can pay 13 year old Suzie down the street that usually babysits your kids to feed your fish while you’re on vacation for $10/day, but if you are as big of a control freak about your fish as I am and want to save some money too then you probably want to make sure your fish are getting fed the right amount everyday and on time.
Dissolving Feeder.
These are quite simple to use and come in a large variety of sizes ranging from 3 day feeders to 14 day feeders. What dissolving feeders do is slowly dissolve over the stated amount of time and slowly release food to your fish for the length of the specified time. Simply drop these into the water and let them do their magic.
The only downside to these is that they can make your tank quite cloudy if you don’t have proper filtration.
Automatic Timed Feeders.
Automatic feeders such as the battery operated EKOMIXO Fish Feeder are very easy to use simply fill out when you want to have your fish fed and it will release the set amount of food into the tank. Some automatic feeders can feed up to 4 times a day. These are the best solution because it can be like you never even left.
You can even use these while you aren’t on vacation!
