"I was gone for 12 days."

The rechargeable battery makes me feel better about the environment. It holds a very large amount of food and was very overkill for my setup. For the price, I do not regret my purchase. It's been using for twice a day for 5 weeks, still no need for charging the battery. It lead to a lot of inconsistency and failures till I got it right. Online instructions are not much help. You can also set it to feed at up to 4 times a day.

"Works as advertised."

That being said, HOWEVER, as with everything, there are duds in every batch. I simply modified my hood to accommodate this feeder. The battery is a rechargeable lithium battery that comes with a usb cable. This will ruin li-ion batteries over time. Unfortunately, most pet store aquariums do have a lip. Comes on a swivel bracket to accommodate special angles for installation. Portion size can be adjusted easily.

"Think outside the box."

The size of the food compartment is huge depending on the number of fish you have. Took me all of 5 minutes start to finish to get it set up. I did a couple test pours into a plastic bag so I could get it just right. He and his wife travel to India to see his in-laws. I have the Stage 2 round pellet feed. The unit arrived partially charged. The size of the tank is too small to recommend.

"No complain."

The feeder is also sleek and has a small footprint. The first opening was way too small. This fish feeder is very configurable and reliable. The interface on the feeder is extremely user friendly. I would rather overbuy than underbuy. Other than this complicated setting, it's very easy to use. This certainly worked for my purposes.

"Operation wise, no flaws."

I have this on a 60 gallon aquarium and so far it's working great! There were a few cheaper feeders that I considered. Programming feeding times is easy using the instructions provided. Taping a piece of ribbon in place worked out better. For the price, I do not regret my purchase. It took a min to figure out the instructions. Filling the container is easy, and the auto timer is amazing.

"Here are some pictures."

Also don't leave the USB port connected to a charger all the time. It would probably sell like hot cakes. It works great and kept our fish live for a month absence. It is tied down to keep it from falling into the tank. It's been using for twice a day for 5 weeks, still no need for charging the battery. Don't lose the instructions or you'll go crazy trying to program it. I have been feeding twice a day with one spin per time.

"Refilling is very easy."

You also have the ability to set the portion of feed to be dropped. Programming feeding times is easy using the instructions provided. However, this is not a good fit for that purpose. The unit itself is very sturdy and well made. They mostly were checking in to make sure this EHEIM feeder was working. I added a small funnel to catch the food and guide it. You can tell it how many times you want it to spin, up to 3, I think.

  • SLSON Fish Feeding Ring Aquarium Fish Safe Floating Food Feeder Circle Square and Round with Suction Cup,Set of 2
  • PERFECT SOLUTION FOR YOUR FEEDING:bullies can't hog all the rings, so everyone gets a chance to eat in peace. It even allows the owner to feed different foods to finicky fish. If one ring is filled with food the fish will dash right over there, leaving the second ring open to drop specialty food in for those picky eaters.
  • KEEP YOUR AQUARIUM CLEAN: the fish feeding rings keep the food in a certain area,it doesn't end up scattered all over, or pulled into the filter, which allows more of it to be eaten. That does wonders to reduce waste and maintain water quality.
  • HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL:this floating feeding ring made of premium rubber and plastic,non-toxic and safe for your fish.Ideal aquarium food feeder for Betta Tetra Guppy Goldfish Clownfish Molly Platy Swordtail Corydoras Cichlids Shark Catfish Glofish Loach Danio Fish.
  • FLOATING FOOD ONLY:suitable for feeding flake foods and other floating foods. Put foods into the circle, it will prevent food from floating around. (no use for sinking food)

"I like this product."

It works great and kept our fish live for a month absence. I simply modified my hood to accommodate this feeder. Otherwise you will no doubt eventually get water in there. Another nice feature is the feeder will rotate on its screw attachment base. You also have the ability to set the portion of feed to be dropped. I have not, however, tested it with pelleted food. You slide the opening to adjust how much food you want to come out.

"So they just work."

It runs off batteries so it lasts the full two weeks they are gone. Taping a piece of ribbon in place worked out better. The battery is a rechargeable lithium battery that comes with a usb cable. This will ruin li-ion batteries over time. Set the hour then minute, then number of rotations at that time. The packaging says not to use rechargeable batteries. You slide the opening to adjust how much food you want to come out.

"Product works."

There are a couple ways to mount this feeder. I bought this feeder to use on my betta tank for weeks when I go home from college. I tried his usual food pellets and quickly decided that they would not work at all. He and his wife travel to India to see his in-laws. There are a couple ways to mount this feeder.

"It still works just fine."

Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. Finally, I can take a vacation without worrying about who to ask to feed my fish. My son loves this automatic fish feeder. The feeder has helped me automate my tank, which is one less thing to worry about. Otherwise you can hang this pretty much anywhere if your tank doesn't have a cover. I do get food on the edges of the opening which I push in later for the fish. May want to test it a few times before leaving for a long trip.

"Seems to work good."

Finally, I can take a vacation without worrying about who to ask to feed my fish. It lead to a lot of inconsistency and failures till I got it right. Another big tip for flake food users. One dispensing into a guppy tank once a day. This fish feeder is really well made! That being said, HOWEVER, as with everything, there are duds in every batch. It is tied down to keep it from falling into the tank.

8. Kocome Aquarium Shrimp Small Bait Feeder Dry Spinach Feeding Stainless Steel Cage

Kocome First Impressions

"Product works great."

Suitable for locating anywhere on the tank ledge. The pellets stick to the tape and slowly build up clogging the hole. Consistent food size is the key to more consistent results. And yes, you can use flake food like I do, just fine. Product does NOT come with required AA batteries. I have mine set at the smallest possible opening. I have a 75 gallon tank, and removed a 1.

"Good price too."

The slider door lets you set it for as wide or as narrow as you need. Otherwise, food collects itself on the rear side of aquarium. I figured too much food was better than too little. Sure the stench is appalling but he's fed. I like to keep consistency with the tank. I learned this the hard way coming back from a one week vacation. This would have been a great investment when I started my aquarium 30 years ago.

"This thing worked great."

The unit arrived partially charged. Not carbon zinc, alkaline batteries. This is best if you have not edge on your aquarium. I figure it holds enough for about 5 days at the current feeding rate. I have the Stage 2 round pellet feed. My son loves this automatic fish feeder. The only other thing that you should be aware of is the large size of the unit.

Sure the stench is appalling but he's fed. You can make it work with these, but you need to be careful. I have not, however, tested it with pelleted food. I am sure they all would have worked, but I was skeptical about some features. The feeder is also sleek and has a small footprint. 3-second Long Press on rightmost button turns feeder on and off. It holds a very large amount of food and was very overkill for my setup.

Only downside was that the hole was too big for red tiny bit fish food. It lead to a lot of inconsistency and failures till I got it right.

"Ease of use, five stars."

That number of rotations shows as tiny number in the left-most lower window. Product does NOT come with required AA batteries. There was no problem mounting the unit on the lip of the bowl. Once I got the opening where I wanted it, things have gone great. It's been using for twice a day for 5 weeks, still no need for charging the battery. They even include two alkaline AA batteries in the box. USB charging is quick and easy and uses a standard micro USB cable.
