Tropical Vacation Feeder 1pk

Description

Tropical Vacation Feeder 1pk — Slow-release food block for tropical fish during holidays of up to two weeks

A fortnight away is a long time for a tank of tropical fish, and a neighbour measuring out flakes often ends with an overfed, cloudy aquarium. Tropical Vacation Feeder 1pk (SKU: SVF1) is Serenity’s single large holiday block for tropical fish: a specially formulated block that slowly dissolves in the aquarium and releases tropical fish food while the owner is away. Serenity rates one block to feed about 15 average-sized fish in a 50 to 60 litre aquarium for 10 to 14 days, and says the block releases food for up to 14 days. It suits most freshwater fish.

Serenity also states that, as well as feeding the fish, the ingredients help neutralise and purify the aquarium water, which matters when nobody will be doing a water change for two weeks. The pack holds one block, matched to one tank of that size and stocking. Because fish react differently to a block, it is worth trying one a week or two before a trip, watching how quickly they find it and how the water looks while it dissolves; the result shows whether a single block is right for the tank. A partial water change and a filter check before departure give the tank a clean start, and any remains of the block come out on return, followed by another partial change. For a long weekend rather than a fortnight, the Tropical Weekend Feeder 4pk (SVF4) holds smaller 20 g blocks, and coldwater tanks have their own Gold Fish Vacation Feeder 1pk (SGF1).

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Holidays of 10 to 14 days: One block covers about 15 fish in 50 to 60 litres.
• Community tropical tanks: Tetras, barbs, gouramis and other freshwater species.
• Work trips: A steady food supply when no one can feed daily.
• Unplanned absences: A hospital stay or family emergency where the tank must look after itself.

Feeding Guide

• Trial it first: Test a block before the trip to see how the fish and water respond.
• Prepare the tank: Do a partial water change and clean the filter before leaving.
• Add on departure day: Place the block in the aquarium and skip any other food.
• Tidy up on return: Remove what remains of the block and change some water.
