King British Holiday Fish Food Block, may vary

Product Information

I have a Blackmoor in a 21 (us gallon) tank, I use a Fluval 3 for filtration, a dual out put air pump with a heater set at 21 degrees Celsius.

my fish does not like pellets though and I’m concerned that flakes tend to jam up auto feeders) any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated. As soon as the 7 day pyramid fish feeder holiday block is added to the aquarium it will give of a stream of bubbles. The Small starfishshaped blocks are made from a calcium matrix that slowly dissolve to release Fish Food into the water.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Therefore, popping a holiday block into an aquarium the morning you leave for your fortnight’s break really is not a good idea. I am going on holiday in just over a month for 14 nights and will have my Sister who will keep popping by to make sure everything is ok. This way you can check that the system is working correctly and you'll have time to adjust the settings (i. Weekend feeder blocks last up to 3 days – just long enough to keep your fish fed for a short trip away from home.Though these holiday blocks are low in protein to minimise pollution in the tank, (Tetra Goldfish Holiday food has a mere 3% protein whereas typical fish feed may contain 30-40% proteins), there will still be a small demand placed on the tank by the addition of this holiday food. I can back 10 days later, and the water wasn’t cloudy, and you could visably see where she had been feeding on it. If your fish refuse to eat the slow release fish food, you might as well leave them with nothing when you are away from home.

We went away to Yorkshire for a week, so we opted to get this to feed our 4 Platy and 6 Danio temperate fish while we were away. API VACATION PYRAMID FISH FEEDER should be used as a temporary substitute for daily feeding for your fish while you are away on vacation. If not eaten by the fish, those food morsels will slowly break down, liberating tiny quantities of solid and dissolved wastes and consuming a small amount of dissolved oxygen as this occurs. Designed to feed your fish while you are away, these blocks slowly release fish food in water without affecting the quality and clarity of water. One study using the estuarine goby, Gillichthys mirabilis, showed cortisol levels six times higher than usual following 20 days of fasting and it took seven days to get back to controlled levels once the fish were fed again.In some species this is shown to raise levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which can continue even after the fish have been re-fed, though there is much contradictory evidence across the species tested. Maybe you have to travel for work or want to take a much needed vacation – how do you feed your fish while you are away? Choose a model that allows you to fine-tune settings especially if you are going to be installing it in a small fish tank.
