1.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed and neither are my fish., December 16, 2009

By	Circusmonkey - See all my reviews

The first (AND LAST!) time I tried this was on a 9 day vacation. Since I hadn't used this particular type before I had a family member who lives next door keep tabs on the fish every day that I was gone and feed them as needed. Good thing because my fish did not like this stuff at all.

I researched reviews further and found that a lot of people had the same results.
Note: I read the instructions carefully and did in fact remove the food block (more like a puck) from the tin-like tray.

On my previous vacation, if I recall correctly, I used the feeder pyramids from API. Those worked great.

TIP:
Before using any type of vacation feeders, test them out prior to needing them to ensure your fish will be okay. Or have a trusted friend or relative check on your fish to make sure they're doing okay.

This product was a little hard to get out of the container. One of the blocks sort of broke apart. Other than that, it worked well. All of my fish were alive. There was no food left and the water did not cloud.

I used once when I returned from a long week end the thing was turned over. My fish tank has small fish tetras a few guppies and two cory cats. I have not used the remaining gel packs.
