Default holiday block - suitable for platy fry?

I have some 3 day old platy fry (so cute!) but now i have to go away for a week. I have some feeding blocks, and was going to put one in the main tank and half of one into the breeding box. will this be ok? I know frys probably need careful nourishment. If so, I'll get a neighbour to come in and feed em.

thanks
Meg

I wouldn't use those blocks for adult fish. THey pollute the water more than anything. Your best bet is to prepare feedings for the week ahead of time and have someone come by to dispense the preset amounts at regular time intervals.
