Fishsitters in Calgary?
Hey guys, I'm going to be out of town for three week and I'm a bit worried for my fish. I figure I'll go by an ATO and an autofeeder this weekend, but I am thinking it would still be worthwhile to get someone to come in and take a look - particularly since my fish aren't that used to pellets (they are ok with flakes though).
Anyone have any good tips / recommendations for people I should use? Also, any idea what it should be costing me per visit? Thanks! James

I don't know about you but I would try to get a friend or a family member that I trust. Don't want strangers in my house but that's just me.

it should cost you nothing. friends and family are there to use and abuse =) a trustworthy friend who's into the hobby would be my first choice.

haha. sadly, I have no family in town and I wouldn't trust my friends in my house for three weeks either - probably come back to a huge house party
 . Plus I am hoping to avoid using up my all my goodwill - i've used friends quite a bit for my weekend trips. Looks like Kijiji has some fish sitters - I guess I'll have to vet them.

Sounds like some people should step up and make a canreef community based group to fill this gap. Especially with summer coming to.

Michika, that is a really good idea! I think most of us don't mind paying to get some good knowledgeable care either.
What about a thread, where people can post the areas they might be available in? I would prefer that approach as one could go with someone they know and trust. We were going to go away and ended up arranging for a friend who is a human care giver, but unfortunately too many dog surgeries ended our holiday plans.

That's a really good idea. It feels a lot more comfortable leaving the fishies in the hands of someone who knows the hobby. We'll have to figure out a good platform to use to organize it - these forum threads arent very good for it.
