I ALWAYS have these around!
We travel often and I am sure to keep these on hand. We have Angel Fish, African Dwarf Frogs, Pleco’s and a few other community fish. One of these disks lasts about 5 days in my tank. If we plan on being gone longer, we are sure to leave 2 disks in the tank. We have been gone for 11 days before, leaving 2 disks in a 55 gallon tank, and have come home to chunks of the disk’s left in the bottom of the tank. Simply scoop out what’s left over and toss out, then continue feedings as usual. This food is compressed in a tank safe gel and slowly dissolves, giving your fish the nutrients they need. If you have bottom feeders, they are quick to find the disks and work the food out themselves, helping the process. From my experience, this does NOT make the disks dissolve any faster so no need to add more with bottom feeders. Be sure to remove the disk entirely from the package. Don’t leave it in the plastic cup after removing the lid. REMOVE IT FROM THE CUP ENTIRELY and drop the disk in the tank as far from the filter as possible.

We were gone for just over a week and when we came back, there were still a little bit of food left. This was a great option to keep my aquatic friends. Well fed while I was gone.

Not recommended
I’ve never had to use a vacation feeder until just recently and purchased this one because of the known brand name. Upon using, the feeder instantly made our water cloudy and bubbly at the top. Since I’ve never used one of these in the past, I figured that was normal. A week later, all of our fish have now died. I’m not sure if it was just bad timing, or if this was the cause. Up until using this though, our water levels have always tested good, and our water has been perfectly clear. I won’t be repurchasing this.

guppies, shrimp, snails love it
and it doesn’t mess up the tank! But my Bettas don’t seem to like it much. When I put it in I break in a few pieces, the bits that fall off they grab right away but when I return the Betta sorority tank still has almost all the feeding block and the guppy/snail/shrimp tank has no trace of food. I have used for up to 8 days and so far have lost no fish and none seem starved when I return. I will continue to use.

Has lasted a month!
I had a 14 day trip and so I purchased this as it stated it was good for 14 days. I have guppies and an angelfish as shown on the packaging, as well as a couple snails sucker Fish, and shrimp. This is going to be the fourth week and there is still a significant amount of food left. Totally worth the money and exceeded expectations. Good to know that if my trip had run over or if I need to go on a longer trip in the future, I can count on this to feed my fish. noting that there were 8 fish, 2 snails, and 1 shrimp in a 10 gallon tank.

Would not Recommend for Betta Fish
We have tried this product twice for our Betta fish and she doesnât seem to like or eat the vacation feeder food. We have tried breaking off a piece as well. I would not recommend for Betta fish. On a positive note, it doesnât tend to cloud up the fish tank as described by the vendor.

Block works great but fatten them up before you go!
I have a 50 gallon tank with 5 black neon tetra’s, 7 emperor tetra’s, 2 octo catfish, 2 cory cats and 4 amano shrimp. It had only been set up for 3 months, so the tank is not over populated. I threw one of these blocks in and we left on vacation for 30 days. Since its just my wife & I, there was no one else to take care of the fish. I figured that the tank would be an entire loss when we got back. Or just as bad, the evolution of an aquatic “Lord of the Flies” society would take place. But much to my surprise, when we got back, the entire block was gone and only one Cory cat was missing. And he was having trouble before we left, so I think the abandonment had little to do with his demise. And I am sure his flesh went to the greater good in an underwater repeat of the infamous “Donner Party” banquet! In any case, when we got back, everyone looked fine but a little thinner and slower. I think the secret to this extreme, but successful test of the feeder block lay in the condition of my fish before we left. Since I knew their diet would be restricted for an extended period of time while we were gone, I really fattened them up on frozen brine shrimp, daphnia, and blood worms in addition to multiple daily feedings of flakes and pellets. I let them pig out for a month. So before we left, they really had that pudgy cheeked, bubble butted all American fast food glow going, just like that loud jolly twinkie eating girl next door. So in my opinion, this gel block worked great! But don’t rely on it alone. Fatten up your fish before you go!

Vacation without the worries!
I read so many reviews on different feeders for our fish tank while we were on vacation. I felt like most were not really helpful……. not going to lie I ended up going with this brand because I remembered my mom using it when I was kid. In our tank we have 2 fair goldfish. You read that right, fair goldfish. The ones that usually don’t live long….. well we have had ours for over two years so I did not want them to suffer while we were on vacation.To get to the point — this worked perfect! I have used them multiple times since with no issues and always return to healthy, happy fish! Some reviews said they felt like these feeders made their tanks more dirty. This may be true but I didn’t really notice much difference.

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
Jackie –
…so I guess it works.
David Mott –
Does the job….just make sure the plug doesn’t get stuck under any rocks/ornaments in the tank….
