Description
TetraVacation Tropical Slow Release Feeder keeps a tropical aquarium fed while you are away. Drop it in before you leave and it dissolves gradually, releasing food over the following days. Choose the 5 Days feeder for a long weekend or the 14 Days feeder for a longer trip.
Holidays are where a lot of healthy tanks come unstuck, and it is rarely because the fish went hungry. Most tropical community fish handle a few days without food far better than they handle the alternative people reach for, which is tipping in a week of flake before leaving. That surplus is never eaten. It decomposes, floods the tank with ammonia, and the beneficial bacteria in the filter cannot scale up fast enough to convert it, so you return to cloudy water and stressed fish. A slow release block only makes food available as it breaks down, so the amount in the water at any moment stays small and the filter keeps up.
