Tetra Weekend and Vacation Feeder Slow-Release Fish Food for Tropical Fish 1.06 Ounce (Pack of 1)

I use these every time we go out of town

I like these fish feeders so much better than the white chalky ones that seem to always leave a white residue in the tank. I break a single 'feed cake' into about 5 or 6 pieces and drop them in different spots so that fish can easily feed on them wherever they are. They ARE slow release, so the food itself is dispersed over a period of many days. I have five guppies, two neon tetras and two algae eaters, so one of these feed cakes lasts about 10 days. An added bonus is that, if you have unwanted snails like I do, you will find them collected on whatever chunks are still left over, and just 'fish' those snails right out of the tank when you get home.

I bought 2 five day tablets to do a trial run in each of my 2 tanks. They were put into the tanks the day after a detailed cleaning. On day 2, I was left with 2 cloudy tanks the morning after dropping the tablets in them! Also, the fish were almost entirely disinterested in the tablets (I have guppies, tetras, snails, glo-fish and rasboras). By day 3 both food tablets were showing fungal growth which became worse with each passing day and acted as a barrier to the fish actually accessing the tablet! Another reviewer on this page who took pictures of his tablet actually shows the fungal growth (it starts off as a whitish mound) in his tank Only the snails in my tanks seemed interested in feeding on the tablets but I noticed one snail that was eating it keeled over & died post feeding not 1/4" away from the tablet!. Simply put, it was a disappointing experience and I will have to seek another solution to finding a way to feed my fish while on vacation. I was hopeful that this product would work. Frankly, I am surprised that some folks here have anything positive to report about these food tablets! Nevertheless, the negative reviews all say the same thing: cloudy water and many fish don't go for it.

we were going on a 5 day trip out of town and got these for our goldfish tank - tried it the day before and a couple of the goldfish went to investigate - one of them ate the whole block and later passed away from it while it is a great value for the money - recommend putting it somewhere the fish can't get to it

These feeders worked great kept all of our fishes alive and three tanks We even split them in half because we don't have very many fish in each tank I suggest you keep them hidden I have them in a plastic bag sitting on a shelf next to the aquarium so that my uncle could easily find them when he would come to feed the fish in the middle of our vacation and one of the cats got a hold of it and chewed it up so they can smell it so be aware I would definitely order these again

I guess I have greedy fish. It did not last a weekend. They ate it in a few minutes and was looking for more.

This little fish food "brick" is great. It lasts a little longer than advertised for me, so I don't worry about little fishies going hungry if my flight is delayed. This feeder doesn't melt like other types of vacation feeder, but seems to go away as the fish eat it. So I have broken it in half and put the halves out of site of each other to protect smaller, more timid fish while they eat. Also, I have fewer water condition problems that I had with other fish food "bricks". So I don't come home to a tank that needs attention - or at least not from this food. It does have a thin waxy/greasey clear substrate. If I'm home I take that out of the tank after the fish have eaten all the food. Other times I haven't been able to take it out and it disappears. I haven't actually seen the fish eat it, but they might. There were no water problems either way.

Good product

It’s not worth buying those white feeders, we find they have left the water murky and we have had some casualties. We have been using the Tetra feeders for at least 10 years. It’s good how it slowly feeds flakes into the water or the fish nibble the block. If you don’t have a full tank of fish we cut the block in half.

I received it damaged. It was squeezed into a small box in a very bad way and the funny part is I can't request a return or a refund

Buenisimo, mis peces lo aceptan muy bien … no es la primera vez que lo uso y siempre me ha funcionado

Does the job....just make sure the plug doesn't get stuck under any rocks/ornaments in the tank....

does not cloud the water
