Feed once a day only.
Feed 1 - 2 flakes of food
at a time.
When going away for 2 - 3 days
do not worry as goldfish
will happily survive without
any food for that
length of time.
When away for a longer holiday
put a vacation feeding block into
the bowl or tank or ask a friend or neighbour to pop in and feed
them 1—2 times per week.

When you get home with your
new pet, fill your bowl or tank
with aired water from the tap.
Add the recommended
amount of tap water conditioner
to the water and mix thoroughly.
Float the fish in whilst still in
the plastic bag in the bowl
or tankfor approximately
20 minutes as this allows
the fish to gently acclimatise
to any water temperature
differences.
This procedure should also
be followed when to complete
water changes.
Release your fish in to its new home.
