	Vacation Feeder Blocks
monicalewis Small Fry Posts: 7 Kudos: 6 Votes: 0 Registered: 29-Sep-2004	Has anyone used the feeder blocks for a betta? I have used them before with other tropicals and they seemed happy enough with it. My betta shares a tank with five cherry barbs. I will need to leave for a week. Thanks.

Just out of curiousity, these feeder blocks --- do they cloud the water? To thine own self be true...

I guess they keep floating and the fish keep eating until the whole thing is gone. I suppose you can take it out and use it again if there is enough left.

How long are you going away for? Bettas will be fine without food for a week or so.
