You mean "How to care for?", right?
I'd ask a neighbor to come feed them once, halfway through the week. Fish will be okay for a few days with no food. If you are really worried about them, they sell these 7-day fish feeders. They look like little clay pyramids. They dissolve slowly, and give your fish something to munch on while you're gone.
I wouldn't try to take them along, they are more apt to die if you're constantly moving them around. They're better off just being a little hungry for a few days.

Fish can go a week without food just fine. Don't use those vacation feeders they only fowl the water and you don't want to come home to a bowl (should be a tank) of dead fish. Just make sure you clean the bowl right before you go and don't feed them alot before you go, then when you get back clean the water again.

Leave the fish at home or with a friend or neighbour. If no one around and they have to be left alone, put in one of those weekender feeder blocks, they work well, you can get weekend ones and week long ones I thkink from memory. That way the fish wont be stressed and will still be fed.

for one thing you can go to the local pet store and get this and place in you fish tank.
it is call jungle bag buddies this will give them oxygen while you travel.
you can also give them a wardley vacation food looks like a snail from the pet store and will feed them for a week while you are gone. they will be fine if you leave them home but i would put some bubble stones in water too.

what do you mean taking fishes with you when traveling, are those dead fishes or alive ones? Regarding the fishes in the bowl, you can leave them.

You could keep them in a big plastic bag and if you travel and stay in a hotel you take your bowl with you and you put them in.

They would be better off where they are. Could you get a friend come in to feed them?

you can leave them if they have a filter they will be OK with out food but they MUST HAVE FRESH WATER so if there is no filter ask a friend or family member to come over and do water change
hope this helps :)
