Do You All Trust Your Friends Or Family To Feed Your Fish

the only person i trust to feed my fish other than myself is my wife even then make her show me exactly how much she gave them.

I had my son come over every other day and feed them while we were on vacation earlier this year. I wasn't worried though as he had tanks before I did and is also a member of this forum. Even at that, I still had everything premeasured in cups so all he had to do was pour it in. Even though he has tanks of his own, he wouldn't have know how much I usually fed them. The main thing is that since he has fish too, he would have known what to do if there had been any type problem.

The only way I would trust a non-fishkeeping friend or family member to do it is by having the food measured out so all they had to do was pour it in. I definitely wouldn't leave it out to add at their discretion. As a matter of fact, the food would be put away where they couldn't find it to overfeed if they wanted.

I trusted my father in law once to look after my goldfish while I went on holiday. I'd had them for 8 years, he had them 1 day and they both died

I trust my dad to feed my fish when I'm away, and when our whole family goes away, I bag food (label what day to feed) and put it on the different tanks, and my uncle comes to the house and feeds them

My nan feeds them while I'm on holiday, she must overfeed a lot as there is always loads fungusing around when I get back, but no harm done as yet
