## Overview

Tetra’s Weekend and Vacation Feeder is a revolutionary gel-based slow-release fish food block designed to nourish tropical fish for up to 5 days without polluting aquarium water. Made from whole daphnia and enhanced with patented ProCare nutrition, it replaces outdated plaster feeders by providing a clean, mess-free feeding solution that supports fish health and water clarity during your absence.

Review: Kept the fish alive - 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
Review: Easy to use; Fish love them; Don't leave a residue; Decent price; Snails-be-gone! - 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.

## Features

- 100% EDIBLE FISH BLOCK: Allows aquarium fish to graze or nibble as needed when hungry vs plaster feeders that dissolve
- MADE: With whole daphnia and contains all essential nutritional elements to keep your fish healthy for up to 5 days
- DOESN'T DISSOLVE: Gel block doesn’t dissolve like plaster feeders and will not pollute water or negatively impact water quality
- INSTRUCTIONS: Simply remove the foil lid and pop the food out of the tin into your aquarium
- FEEDING GUIDE: Consult the Feeding Guide Chart on the back of the package and remove any uneaten food when you return

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this product okay for seahorses**
A: I haven't had any sea horses since age 13, several decades ago.  My memory is that they ate live food, e.g. brine shrimp.  If you can get them to eat this, it should sustain them.

**Q: Will this work with Beta Fish?**
A: No, it would release way too much food for a betta. Plus this is a terrible fish feeder. It ruined my tank. I would go with something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Betta-Banquet-Blocks/dp/B00943U842 Or am even better option: http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-BettaMatic-Automatic-Feeder/dp/B0049U45K8.

**Q: Can I use this for my little baby guppy fish(there separated and in a mesh breeder) while I'm gone for 7 days?**
A: Don't do it! These feeders are terrible. Go with the old style feeders that look like a big piece of chalk. Benefit to those, they also have water conditioners in them so they might help compensate for not doing water changes while you're away.

**Q: Does this float or sink?**
A: Hi S.P. Curtis, we appreciate your question!  Remove the tinfoil around the product, and drop it in; it will sink to the bottom.  Make sure you use the appropriate amount depending on the size tank and number of fish. Please let us know here at Tetra if you have any other questions!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use; Fish love them; Don't leave a residue; Decent price; Snails-be-gone!

### ⭐ Very disappointing experience
*by N***E on June 19, 2022*

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.
