## Overview

Tetra Weekend and Vacation Feeder is a slow-release gel fish food block designed for tropical fish, providing up to 5 days of balanced nutrition without dissolving or polluting aquarium water. Made with whole daphnia and essential nutrients, it supports all life stages and simplifies feeding during short trips, while also helping control unwanted snails.

## Description

Existing plaster blocks are ¿old school¿ technology that can wreak havoc on your water quality. Tetra¿s innovative new gel feeder blocks contains no plaster and feed up to 4 days. Blended with patented ProCare for optimal health.

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.
Review: Works great! So far we have taken multiple trips without any issues! - Works great! It keeps our Platys alive as well as our aquatic frog. We’ve left for 4-5 days and when we come home the fish are fine and there is still some of the food left. I usually just pluck it out - it’s easy to remove and discard.

## 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!

### ⭐ Kills fish
*by J***E on December 12, 2025*

I am tired of my reviews being changed to include only the positive things being printed. This product stinks. I've used it twice. I thought the first time was just bad luck. No. Both times, used as directed it killed all my fish and polluted the water.
