Insectivore Holiday Block 33g — Slow-release insect-formula feeder block for up to 14 days away

Two weeks away is the point where asking a neighbour to feed the fish starts to go wrong, with either too much food or none. Insectivore Holiday Block 33g (SKU: INS50) is a single 33 g feeder block that is placed in the aquarium before leaving. It releases tiny, aromatic bubbles that attract fish to the block and dispenses food gradually, only while the fish are actively feeding, so it is not dumping its whole load into the water on day one. One block is described as sustaining 20 to 25 fish for up to 14 days, and it suits goldfish and all tropical freshwater fish.

The block carries the Insectivore range’s insect formula, with black soldier fly larvae and mealworm meal supplying the protein, in an all-natural, highly digestible recipe described as supporting the fish’s immune and digestive systems. It is also enriched with ingredients that help stabilise pH levels and reduce nitrogen content in the water, which matters when no one is there to do a water change. On return, any remaining block is simply removed and normal feeding resumes. For shorter breaks the companion Weekend Blocks pack (INS51) offers four smaller blocks rated for about three days each, so the right block can be matched to the trip.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Holidays of one to two weeks: Cover a fortnight away without relying on a visitor to measure out food.
• Goldfish and tropical community tanks: Suited to goldfish and all tropical freshwater species.
• Stocked tanks: Sized for 20 to 25 fish; use more than one block in a larger or heavily stocked aquarium.
• Backup feeding: A block in the cupboard for an unexpected trip.

Feeding Guide

• Feed normally first: Give the usual meal the day before leaving so fish start the break well fed.
• Place the block: Set it on the substrate in a spot with gentle flow just before you go.
• Leave the filter running: Normal filtration and lighting schedules keep the tank stable while the block works.
• Remove what is left: Lift out any remaining block on return and go back to daily feeding.
