Zoo Med Laboratories Mini Banquet Block Feeders, 12 Count

My Pleco LOVES these. Before I had the smaller ones, but they didn't have them in stock anymore at the time I needed to order. These are HUGE, but he manages with them. I actually like them better now because the smaller ones would get pretty small and I'd find them under his aquarium wood where he wasn't getting at them; these say right out in plain sight. EDIT: My advise is not to buy these Giant blocks at this time. I ordered some over a year ago and received the mini blocks. My Pleco loved the mini blocks and they stood firm until he finished them. The order I now received are the Giant blocks. These cloud my water and though my large Pleco does love them, he eats them and leaves behind a lot of pink stringy potty mess that turns to a cloudy powder. Some of the powder sticks to the inside of my aquarium and the rest of it mixes with the water and it looks like the aquarium hasn't been cleaned in like forever. I clean my aquarium every week to 12 days, and I take real pride in how it looks. So I'm now only giving my Pleco one of these giant blocks the day before I clean the aquarium, that way the aquarium only looks disgusting and cloudy for one day. I have 2 large boxes of these, I'll keep one because I've used some out of it, and the other I'm going to try to return. I will order them again IF a product is sold that lives up to the description of what is being sold. I tried to return the second box. It's been too long and seller wouldn't accept the return. The box is going in the garbage.

Works as expected. Been using over 20 yrs

I was worried as I was leaving town and wasn’t sure how if my fish would eat them, so I did a trial run the week before. It lasted the full 3 days, didn’t cloud my tank or add extra residue, and the fish seemed to like them! Plopped one in, went away, had someone else plop another one in mid-trip, and when I came back, it was gone and my fish seemed well fed and happy. Will definitely purchase again!

Been ordering these and they’ve been great no problem. Reason for 3 star now is that I ordered these and received the Beta vacation feeders not the ones ordered. Luckily I have a beta so I can use them but now I have to reorder and hope they send the right ones.

Had to use both packages cause they were little smaller than I thought, I was gone for a two weeks.. no smell. Pond was very clean.. so nothing left behind from the feeders.

I am leaving this review because some reviews say it turns tank water white or leaves residue. We have used several times when going away for 3-5 days. They have been awesome. Fish thrived while gone and tab was gone when we returned. No problems or changes in water in tank at all. Seems the same as always. We have used one tab for 4 small fish in a 5 gallon tank for 3/4 days. Will use them every time.

We have used these several times when we go camping to feed our fish while we are gone. longest trip has been 4 days and fish are all still kicking when we get home,

We went to California, from Texas, for my youngest son's wedding so I put a couple of these in my fish tank. We were only gone for 5 days but I just didn't want my fish to go hungry. Since this has 2 pks, I have plenty left.

Grate product, my fish lovers it

This product was great the fish loved it and easy to use! I will buy again when needed

Have used it a couple of times now and our fish survived

Bought this for me fish while I was away at the cottage for 4 days...I come back and I'd guess 80-90% of the block is still there...did the fish touch it? Most likely they (4 in total in the tank) nipped at it. Did they like it? Apparently not...but they are alive so whatever they did get from it I guess they felt like they were forced to eat it. I have used food blocks previously and the fish ate them all up so not sure what the heck is in this one (chalk perhaps?!) but it didn't appeal to them. I wouldn't get this again, I'll probably get something from one of the big box stores next time. A 3 star for this product is VERY generous...at least the fish are still alive!

Super !
