Great toy dogs Loved it. But then the squeaker went out in few hours of receiving it so not happy about that. Dogs still love it though. They do try to make it squeak

This is the only food that my Koi and Goldies will eat. I tried the floating food, pellets, flakes, and they only want this. Easy to use, just throw it in and check every few days to see if they need another one. Love it.

I bought these for a 10 gallon guppy tank at my mother’s house. We dropped one in back in august 2023 and left for three weeks. (A pet sitter was to feed them the rest of the time.) When she got back the entire block was still sitting there at the bottom of the tank. We eventually had to fish it out and throw it away. We tried to give the product a second chance last month, and even broke it up into smaller pieces in the hopes that the exposed insides and greater surface area might cause it to dissolve this time, but that was March 19th. Today is April 27th and it is still sitting on the bottom of the tank basically completely intact. Maybe we got a bad batch, but I’m not even going to bother with the last one. Complete waste of money.

Thank God that these 'Banquet Blocks' exists and CHEWY sells them at low prices. I travel out-of-State and am gone for 7 or more consecutive weeks. My aquarium full of tropical fish would not survive such a prolonged absence. My 'part-time house sitter' stops by occasionally to feed them and clean the tank.

I was on vacation for 9 days, and upon returning the morning of the 9th day, I found this fish vacation food hardly desolved! I was testing 2 brands, and the other Tetra brand, that I picked up at a local pet store, didn't desolve either! My loach died a couple of days later. Fortunately, my other fish didn't starve to death. I do not recommend it. I have better lunch with the Aqueon Tropical Freshwater Fish Food Feeder that Chewy sells.
