Zoo Med Original Banquet Block
Keep your fish fed while you are away with the Zoo Med Original Banquet Block. Designed for weekend and vacation feeding, this slow-release food can also provide a dependable daily feeding option for selective fish and bottom-feeding species. Its high-protein micro-pellets gradually become available as the block dissolves, allowing fish to graze over time without clouding the water.
Original Banquet Blocks are especially helpful for small fry that benefit from frequent access to food. They are suitable for many freshwater and saltwater species, including plecos, algae eaters, red tail sharks, gouramis, tangs, angelfish and damselfish.
