In its simplest form, a fish feeder consists of a container filled with fish food and a programmable timer. As you see, an automatic fish feeder is a darn useful piece of aquarium equipment. I am embarrassed to say that it was this event that led me to buy an automatic fish food feeder. The Proche feeder is a rotating barrel type feeder, with a digital screen. The screen allows you to set four feeding times with either one or two rotations per feed. Fishkeeping can take up quite a bit of your time, but you might not always have the time to spare.
As it is, the timer has to be set to dispense at least once a day. If you like to play with technology and want a feeder with the most up-to-date abilities, then this WiFi and voice-enabled feeder from Decdeal could be the one for you. It has a large capacity and can hold a bit more than the Eheim Everyday, and it works with flakes, pellets and even many granulated diets. It’s a little tricky to program, but once it’s set you can offer multiple daily meals and vary the portion size as you wish. Another drawback to relying on an auto feeder is that they don’t always work as intended. If the feeder breaks or the batteries die while you’re out of town, your fish may not eat for weeks!
The first is the simplest, and that is to simply set the unit on a flat surface with the bin portion of the feeder hanging over the surface of your aquarium water. It can dispense any dry fish food, from flakes to granules. This device is compact and small enough to fit most aquariums. This fish feeder comes with an additional handy feature, it allows you to feed the fish outside of the pre-programming schedule by just pressing a button. As a safety feature, the フードタイマー drum will not stop the feed slot in a downward position.
Well, it is not as aesthetically pleasing as the previous two devices. However, this product has splash-proof buttons so that you wouldn’t have to worry about this anymore. So if you’re busy, you can keep the device running while you’re in your home office working on the important stuff. This is all possible with the help of the Future Pet application, which we’re sure you’ll love as much as we do here. Betta fish can be notoriously picky eaters, but will eat with enthusiasm food they like, including things they shouldn’t be eating.
Since it is only a 5 gallon tank, I do not want anything too big. If you buy anything else it will break and you will end up buying the eheim anyway. I did find that the downward-facing opening on the dispenser made the food more prone to moisture than other fish feeders.
