We recommend https://www.amazon.com/Vacation-Day-Feeder-Pack-85oz/dp/B0040VK1VI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1513869539&sr=8-7&keywords=tetra+vacation+food for your needs. **Q: How big a pond is this appropriate for? We have 4 large goldfish in a 150 gallon pond.** A: I believe this will work well with the size of your pond....... But, it depends how long you will be away....... One of these discs will probably last about 3-4 days with 4 large goldfish...... If you are going to be away for an extended time, you might want to put 2 into your pond to ensure that your fish are fed while you are away..... I hope this info was helpful...... Chris **Q: How many per fish?** A: Our goldfish didn't seem to eat any. Luckily, they had enough plants to nibble on. **Q: does it float?** A: Yes, this product floats upside down. Don't buy, it is horrible and the fish will not eat this stuff. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish are alive and well! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 24, 2025* Does its job and the fish are still alive and well when we got back from a weeklong vacation. It is super simple to use, just pop it in the pond and the fish will take care of the rest. Great value since it is only a few dollars versus paying a neighbor a lot more to come feed them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vacation fish food *by on Reviewed in the United States October 12, 2024* We were going to be gone and noone to feed our fish. I found these bought 2. They fed 14 goldfish and 10 bluegill for more than a week.Our fish loved them. The size fit perfect in the tank we had. Very easy to use, open top throw in water it floats they can eat it. When they are done it floats to bottom. It didn't dirty up my fish water. The color of the food looked exactly like packed fish food making it perfect for my fish. The can it comes in is very tough so no worries with it falling apart. ### ⭐ All my fish died *by on Reviewed in the United States May 22, 2026* I use this vacation fish feeder for my fish tank last week when l was away for 5 days,Came home today and to my surprise all my fish had died.I clean the tank a day before leaving however the water was very milky.I am so disappointed, because l read a lot of reviews thinking this product is the best .Will not recommend for anyone. ## Frequently Bought Together - TetraPond Vacation Food Slow Release Feeder Block, 3.45 Ounce - 16477 - Aqueon Vacation Feeders 7 Day - 1 Pack - Tetra Weekend and Vacation Feeder Slow-Release Fish Food for Tropical Fish 1.06 Ounce (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5429033-tetrapond-vacation-food-slow-release-feeder-block-3-45-ounce](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5429033-tetrapond-vacation-food-slow-release-feeder-block-3-45-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
