Get a couple of Clown fish; they're beautiful and fairly hardy (I'm talking saltwater stuff). Go to your local reputable Fish store; one that has LOTS of salt water fish, and a store that's been around for awhile. They're the best data source. I definitely would NOT recommend leaving your fish --at least salt water types--for a week at a time. Those cheapy "feeder blocks" you can buy are just that--cheap and not too healthy.
