For those of you who are finally able to be going away on holiday this year, we’ve got your fishy friends covered.

When the holiday season stretches before us and thoughts turn to beaches and suntans, many people wonder how best to care for the aquatic members of their family while they’re away enjoying a well-deserved break.

Thankfully, fish are relatively easier to care for over the holidays than many other types of pets. You don’t have to hunt around for a decent cattery or kennel and you don’t have to worry about arranging an expensive live-in “pet-sitter”, but with only a little preparation, you can ensure the health and welfare of your fish over the holidays. Here’s everything you need to know.
