Before I bought these feeders I noticed the reviews were all over the place. Some people loved them while others came home to find their fish had died. So I bought them and decided to try one out before I left for vacation. I'm very glad I did because nothing happened. While it seemed to be dissolving I couldn't see any type of food being distributed. My Beta did not have a clue as to how to eat from it because he normally chases food from the top. He doesn't forage on the bottom of the tank. After 3 days I decided to take it out of the tank and use a mechanical feeder. I think if I had just dropped it in the tank and gone on vacation I too may have come home to a dead fish. They seem worthless to me.

These are perfect for people who have more than one betta fish scattered around the house. Between us, my family has six bettas in six different locations, and these are what we use whenever we're going to be away for more than a few days. No problems ever, and the fish always seem well fed when we come home!

I used these feeders for my Bettas when I spent a few days out of town. They worked really well, and my Bettas were happy and well-fed when I came back. These were also great because they last a really long time, depending on water temperature. Buy them!

Works well, fish love it, they eat for a week while we are away. For such a small price, this is worth every penny and then some.

THe fish shaped pellet was consumed buy our Betta During our vacation. One thing though we put him in a bigger bowl and the water was a little cloudy

We have two bettas and we use Betta Blocks when we go away for the weekend or for a long trip. The fish always seem happy and healthy when we come back! I would definately recommend using the 7 Day Betta Blocks!

I bought these at a local aquarium shop to feed my bettas when I go on vacation in a couple months. I had to test it out before relying on it, so I put one of these in each of 10 betta vases.

After three days these things hadn't started to dissolve. So, I fed the bettas a little of their regular food figuring that when I am going to leave on vacation, I could drop these in a few days ahead, giving the tablets time to start working.

After another day on this trial run, I did notice the tablets starting to dissolve. I hoped the fish would eat it... But there was no sign of any of the stuff being eaten. The tablets disolved at different rates. Of the ten, a couple of them didn't seem to dissolve much at all in a week. One of my ten bettas died on the sixth day. Another looked very weak, and even after another week of normal care hasn't recovered to normal.

If I don't come up with a better solution before vacation, I will just feed them twice a day, rather than once a day for a couple days before leaving, then give them one last big feeding as I leave the house. I'll still drop these tablets in with them in case they will decide to eat some of it.

Once these things do dissolve, it just looks like colored slime on the battom of the bowl. I definitely will not buy again.

I've bought this feeder before one of my long weekends so I wouldn't have to worry about feeding my Betta. In a middle of the week I decided to make sure it works while I'm still home. I dropped it in aquarium. My first reaction was: "Why did it drown?"; Bettas are surface feeders. So, I thought, maybe the released food will float up? It didn't.

Totally useless product.

I was out for a 4 day trip and this product seems to have done its magic as my betta (the only fish in my fishbowl) was happily floating around when I got back.

I got these at my local Petco store, figured I could use them when I went home for spring break. My mistake, these things are pieces of junk. I placed one in my bettas tank and it sunk watched and it did not appear to release any food. Plus it has plugged up two filter cartridges in just a matter of days. I do not recommend these.
