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 Read more
The fish is still alive after multiple week-long vacays. Clearly this works! Read more
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. Read more
I purchased these a couple of times when going out of town or if I'm going to be away for a couple of days these say that it lasts the 14 days I have noticed in the tank where my sharks are it's lasting about 10 days but in the tank with my tropical fish it is lasting about 14 days it's a good value for the money it's a good size and it's healthy for the fish Read more
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.

Every time we use this, it makes the aquarium so so dirty. The fish are alive until we come back even after seven days of vacation but cleaning the tank is such a huge problem after using this the whole tank water turned very, very orange and cloudy. Read more
Works as expected Read more
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. Read more
