Pond Holiday Food - 2 Weeks Pond Holiday Fish Food Block

This has kept our fishes well for all of our holidays

Purchased this holiday fish feeding block for small 1600 liter outdoor pond with just two fish to cover 9 days absence. Most 'reputable' websites suggested fish would survive perfectly well without food for a couple of weeks so it probably wasn't necessary. However, it was cheap claimed by ot to cloud the water and so put my mind at rest while away. I also set a timer to keep filter and fountain working for 12hrs during day throughout. Anyway returned with water still clear, filter and fountain functioning well and two fish happily swimming around as normal. I removed the block see photo attached and it seems fish took little interest in it, it's now in the dustbin. When I fed fish they immediately consumed their usual food. All said still think it was worthwhile buying the holiday fish food for the peace of mind it brought me but picture suggests that in future I could holiday away without it next time.

We have an outdoor fish pond which is a pain when we go on holiday. Just need to place one fish food disc into the bed before we go away on holiday & that’s enough fish feed for them to last 2 weeks. Come back from holiday & all our fish survived & looking healthy! Before I discovered this,we had to ask neighbours to pop around daily to feed our fish which is an inconvenience so very pleased that I discovered this!

Reading some of the reviews about people returning from holiday to find the food untouched I did have a few concerns but this one had better reviews from most so I decided to go for it. I think my fish must be just less picky… as soon as I put it in they were all over it! I put in two blocks as I’d intended to be away for a a month and came home two weeks later due to COVID to find the whole lot seems to have gone.

I've used these and similar ones in my Koi pond a few times and they always seem to still be there when I return from a week away. They are slightly smaller than when I put them in. So, I've no idea if the fish don't like them or they don't work. However, a week / 10 days away without will not kill a fish.

I go on holiday for 14 days, fish are all alive on my return

I keep my orandas outdoors in the summer and was confident they would find enough food to eat as i was going away for only 4 days and this food is intended for a two week period. I thought this would be a good test for it. I put it in the pond the day before so I could watch whether they ate it. I also fed flake and sinking food on theirs 2 days. They didn't seem interested in the food but thought they may be more interested when the other food was gone. I have come back and one of my fish has died. It could of course be a coincidence as the other three are absolutely fine but none of the holiday food appeared eaten or perhaps so little I couldn't tell.

Had no-one we could ask to pop in and feed fish so this was ideal. Happy fish

Utile

Ha durado tal como se indica. Fui de viaje y cuando volvi alli seguian mis peces asi que funciona.

Ob es den Fischen geschmeckt hat und ob es für die Fische sehr gesund war, kann ich nicht sagen. Wir haben 4 Shubunkin und ca. 20 Gründlinge im Gartenteich. Alle haben die 14 Tage ohne Füttern überlebt und machen nach unserer Rückkehr einen soliden Eindruck. Das Futter ist in einer Aluminiumschale die einfach zu öffnen ist. Der Inhalt, der fast wie Hundefutter aussieht wird einfach in den Teich gegeben, fertig. Würde ich für den nächsten Urlaub auch wieder kaufen.

Todo ok

Parfait !
