Off to your holiday destination? Don’t forget to ensure your fish stay healthy while you’re away.

We share two important tips:

• Get an electric timer and time the light to come on during the day and go off during the night. If your bulbs are old, change them before you leave.
• If you have outdoor ponds, make sure they are well-guarded. Natural predators may kill your fish while you are gone.

For further expert advice, visit one of our Fish and Pet Centres at Bellville, Kenilworth, or Milnerton. There’s a friendly consultant ready to assist.
