What do I do for a goldfish in a 1 gallon bowl?
Answer by Chewy • Dec 20, 2017
You can cut it into four quarters and use just one quarter, in fact the manufacturer highly recommends that in smaller tanks. Keep the packaging, and aluminum for the date codes, and store it in a Ziploc back in your refrigerator for up to one month after opening it for the remaining portion.

Does this work for goldfish, Cory catfish, and pelco
Answer by Chewy • Dec 22, 2022
This is suitable for all freshwater fish.

Is this supposed to float to the bottom of the tank and they feed at the bottom? I have 3 small tropical fish in a 10 gallon tank. I read somebody used it and it floated at the top and the fish didn't eat it. I want to ensure this works and what it should do before buying. Thank you
Answer by Chewy • Nov 15, 2017
This product is intended to sink to the bottom of your tank. You will need to completely remove the food from the foil container for them to sink properly.

I have 2 bala sharks, a rainbow shark and an algae eater in a 75 gallon tank. Would this work for them?
Answer by Chewy • Nov 22, 2021
The vacation feeder will be suitable for those fish, in that size aquarium. We suggest feeding a small amount of the vacation feeder with their regular food to help them become accustomed to it.

Works great

I have used the Tetra Vacation Food many times and have always had good luck. In fact, I just returned from a 5-day vacation and all my fish in my 12 aquariums are doing great. The blocks were consumed, as always. There is never any of it left in the aquarium. It has never fouled the water, developed anything growing on it and I have never lost a fish because of the feeder block being in the tank. I don't understand why some reviews about the product are so negative. All one has to do is read the instructions. It's not that difficult. There's no need to drill holes in the bottom of the tin or do anything at all to the container. Do not place the tin in the tank. Just pull back the protective film from the top, push out the block from the tin and drop it in the tank. I always use the Tetra Vacation food when I'm gone for a few days, and I highly recommend it.

My fish won't eat this, even when starving

Thought this would be great for our long weekend trips, but we came home twice to fish that were famished, and the food just sitting on the bottom of the tank.

Disappointed Teacher

This food killed all of my fish. I left for vacation with 6 very alive fish, the water was ideal and had been recently tested. I had no reason to be concerned. I returned from vacation and all 6 fish were dead and the food was covered in what looked like white slime and goo. My students were devastated.

Not for Goldfish

My 2 goldfish won't touch it. It probably is fine for tropical fish but I don't know.

would not recommend

I used this product when I went on vacation. my brother checked on the fish after 7 days and the didn't touch the food. he added another one just in case. when i came back there were two globs of food still on the bittom of the tank. My neon fish barely had a color left and they were probably starving. I would not recommendthis product. Maybe it would be better for other fish.

Not what I wanted

My tetras did not eat this while I was on vacation. It looked exactly the same when I returned after being away for a week, except that it had grown a gross white fur.
