Re: going away... what about feeding?
If it's less than two weeks and doesn't included DPs, I just let them be, simply overfeeding the week before I go to fatten them up a bit. DPs I don't like letting go more than one week.

Just fatten the fish up before you go, for only 5 days... then give them a nice meal when you get back.

Do a WC before you leave though.
