Penn-Plax PBV3 First Impressions

"He didn't eat them day 1."

I went to a different Petco and found the right brand and brought it home. They float well, so he can play more. I accidentally purchased this thinking it was flake food. Best of luck to everyone and stay safe and healthy. The flakes are consistently mostly big, so it's not a big bucket of duff at all. I work long hours and don't always have time to feed my fish on a regular schedule. I have been using TetraMin brand for 20 of those years.

• Penn-Plax Pro Balance Vacation Fish Feeder – Slow Release Food That’s Great for Weekend Vacays: 1 Block Feeds up to 3 Days (4 Blocks per Package) – Safe for Freshwater & Saltwater Tanks
• GREAT FOR WEEKEND VACAYS: Worried about finding a fish-sitter as you plan for your next weekend getaway or adventure? Or, whenever or not they’ll overfeed your fish? Fear no more! Our Pro Balance Vacation Fish Feeder Blocks will feed your fish while you’re away. Each block feeds to up 3 days, and each package contains 4 Starfish Shape Blocks.
• IDEAL FOR 10 – 15 GALLON TANKS: Our Fish Feeder Blocks work best in aquariums that are between 10 and 15 Gallons in size. One block will last 3 to 4 days depending on the PH level and water temperature. A minimum water temperature of 72°F (22°C) and PH level of 6.6 to 7.0 is most efficient for the release of food particles.
• REQUIRES AERATION & CIRCULATION: Within hours, our Feeder Blocks will start to dissolve, releasing nutritious freeze-dried foods while neutralizing your aquarium’s water. In order for this to happen, your tank should have the proper aeration and circulation. Our Feeder Blocks dissolve normally with setups that have an air stone or filter.
• GIVE IT A TRY BEFORE YOUR TRIP: Just like us, our fish can get picky over their food. As a suggestion, you may want to place 1 Feeder Block in your tank a week before your vacation or trip. This way, you’ll see if they like it or not. To take it a step further, you may want to leave the tank alone as you test our Feed Blocks, mimicking the trip.
• INGREDIENTS: Calcium Sulfate, Freeze-Dried Tubifex Worm, Freeze-Dried Bloodworm, Freeze-Dried Daphnia, Freeze-Dried White Shrimp, Thiamine Mononitrate (Source of Vitamin B1), and Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Source of Vitamin B6).

"But I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

I STRONGLY recommend you to open the bag IN ONE CORNER with scissors. My son in law feeds this exclusively and he said his fish love it as well. LoL, So we are all happy at meal time. The next day they seemed less interested. It feeds my pond and two tanks, happy fish! This Tetra style food doesn't do either of those things. To put it in perspective, its about 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide!

"Nice in water holds nice."

However when I opened the box one of the containers did not have a lid. Don't hesitate, get it before you can't. Beta fish response to this product is less intersted as compared to bug bites.

"Love these pellets."

But my Rams tend to be finicky eaters, and they pig out on this stuff. I STRONGLY recommend you to open the bag IN ONE CORNER with scissors. This container is a great size for the price. My fry grow out quickly with vibrant colours. Overall a great deal, for great fish food. Many betta foods are floating orbs that have a diameter too large for bettas. They didn't seem to like the stick variety so I tossed it and fed them the flakes.

Easy Reefs First Impressions

"I indicted Tetra Min."

My neon tetras, mollies, platys, and tiger barbs love this stuff and they devour it. My fish liked it from the start, and TetraFin has kept improving it over the years. I also use subscribe and save for monthly deliveries so this food is a keeper for me. Nope, it is pretty big, which means my community 55-gallon tank has food for years! The flakes absorb the moisture in the air, cake up, and clog the feeder. My 20+ female and male bettas prefer these crisps to other foods. I had tried flake food in an automatic feeder which was a total disaster.
