Unless your room gets really cold, I'd do nothing. Change the water before you leave. Make sure there is a cover on the tank/bowl. Do not feed him after that, do not have anybody feed him, and do not buy one of those worthless white feeders. You don't want the water to get bad while you are gone. I am leaving for a week also and 19 of my fish are staying right at school with a note to the tank not to feed them (they check our rooms before locking them out for break). Only 5 fish are coming home with me as they are too big and produce the most waste. I know some people who are going to let the hall director feed their fish while they are out and I advised them against it. The fish can go a week without food, but should the water get bad over break because they are being fed but not cleaned, that will be when the fish die.
