Really, food blocks can seem like the perfect solution. But its best to only use this product for up to six days. Other food blocks can be kept in a tank for a couple of weeks. How long a block will last depends on which one you choose. You basically put one of these blocks into your water and they dissolve into your tank.
They are not as advanced as automatic feeders, but they can be useful. These products are basically compressed fish food. You can even get ones that are made for your Betta. There is a wide range of food block products for you to purchase.
This way the water won’t have to be changed so soon.įood Blocks can be used for your Betta tanks as well. Your fish will probably be better off with a feeding device. But if you plan on leaving for over a week, I would not recommend this option. Fry and other living sustenance create their own waste.Īdding some live food in your tank for a short amount of time is fine. Adding live food to a tank can create more waste in your tank. And know that there are some downsides to living food. Worms or shrimp can be a good option as well.īut see what your fish likes before you leave for vacation. Other small sea creatures can be put in your tank as well. You can place fry in your tank for your Betta, but there is no guarantee that they will eat baby fish. Bettas are particularly fond of baby fish or fry as they are known. And if you want to, you can put different types of live food in your tank to keep your fish well fed. Betta can eat other fish and sea critters. Otherwise, your Betta won’t eat while you are away.Īnother option could involve a live food source. You do not want your Bettas food (or other food that you are feeding your betta) to get mushy and soft. Again, buying a high-quality device is a must in this scenario.īut if you have to go with a cheaper automatic feeder make sure it lets moisture out. If the feeder your buy is defective or does not work well, your fish will suffer. Even if they can be fed for weeks with one of these machines.įurthermore, make sure you test your feeder before your leave. So really, you do not want to leave your fish alone for too long. Most tanks need to be changed around once a week, sometimes more if your tank is smaller.Īnd filters and other tank devices need to be properly maintained as well. Water changes are necessary for any Betta. Especially if you are planning on leaving home for a few months.īut remember that your fish needs more than food to survive in their tank. This might seem like the perfect solution.
But if you find the right product your fish can be fed for up to six weeks. Not all automatic fish feeders will work for weeks and weeks. Overall though, these are convenient options for any Betta fish owner. If you want something that gives you precise control of your fish feeding schedule, you will have to do some research and spend more money. So look into specific devices before you make a purchase. Others can be programmed for exact time intervals with exact amounts of food. Cheaper devices might only release food once a day. Different feeders have different options. You can time when and how much your fish is fed. The great thing about automatic devices like these is the programmability. This way you know they are being fed right. But you want to invest in the best product for your fish. Quality feeding devices can cost a lot of money. They are not difficult to use and are easy to find online or at a local store. So keep this in mind!Īutomatic feeders are popular devices that will keep your Betta fish fed for longer periods of time. But some options might not work if you are away for longer periods of time. These are effective methods that will keep your Betta well taken care of. But I’ll introduce six easy methods in this section to save you time. There are many ways to go about feeding your fish during a vacation.
