Tetramin Holiday Block

Tetramin Holiday Block

Tetramin Holiday Block is a gel-based holiday fish food block that keeps your aquarium fish fed for up to 14 days while you are away. It suits freshwater aquarium keepers who want a reliable, complete food supply without compromising water quality while they are gone.

Key Benefits

• Provides up to 14 days of nutrition, depending on the size of your aquarium and the number of fish.
• 100% edible gel food block, so the whole block is food for your fish.
• Made with gel food technology rather than as a gypsum block, so it does not negatively affect water quality in the long term and water values stay stable.
• Does not turn the water cloudy, helping to keep your aquarium looking clear while you are away.
• A complete food containing all the essential vitamins, trace elements and minerals fish need to stay healthy, tailored to their needs.
• Built on Tetra's BioActive formula.
• Enriched with daphnia to make holiday feeding a particularly tasty experience for your fish.

How It Works

Unlike a gypsum block, this holiday food is produced on a gel basis. The block does not dissolve by itself, so your fish can nibble at it whenever they need to rather than all the food breaking down into the water at once. This steady, on-demand feeding is what makes it a dependable option for a fortnight away, and the daphnia makes it appealing to the fish.

Suitable For

• Freshwater aquarium fish.
• Fish keepers heading away on holiday for up to 14 days.
• Aquariums where stable water values matter, as the gel formulation is designed not to cloud the water.
