Automatic feeders offer a convenient solution to feeding your fish when you’re away, saving time, money, and energy while helping maintain an aquarium-clean environment.
Some models allow you to set up to eight feeding times daily in three-hour increments, while others have smaller sliding feed doors which you can partially block off to control how much food dispensed at once.

Easy to use
Feeding fish by hand is ideal, but if your schedule can’t be altered by doing it manually, automatic feeders offer an effective alternative. This model, for instance, can be set up to release food five times daily at different quantities; its moisture-proof hopper holds three weeks worth of food at one time!
Setup of this unit is simple; simply mount it on the tank’s lid or in any convenient spot on the ground and power it using either batteries or an outlet.
This feeder can accommodate various foods, such as flakes, pellets and powders. It is an excellent choice for tanks with multiple species of fish as it allows users to research each species’ dietary needs in order to determine an ideal portion size for them. Plus it features an attractive minimalist design!
Easy to clean
When selecting an automatic fish feeder, reliability should be your main priority. The ideal models can easily be set up and can dispense small, precise portions of food at regular intervals. A removable hopper allows easy refilling; some feeders provide large openings for pouring food, while others may attach directly to your tank lid or the edge of an aquarium tank rim for convenient feedings.
Before purchasing an automatic fish feeder, it’s essential that you understand your species’ dietary requirements. Depending on its size, this could require purchasing a larger feeder which can dispense larger foods. Also make sure it can keep freeze-dried food such as bloodworms and brine shrimp fresh and dry.
Whenever leaving for an extended period, it is a wise idea to familiarize your fish with the feeder before leaving home. Also, arrange to have someone check on them regularly from a neighbor.
Easy to install
Maintaining fish requires many priorities – water needs to be properly treated for cleanliness and pH balance, chemical levels must be in check, feeding must take place regularly (ideally by hand) but this may not always be possible given their aquatic home, and that some breeders, large pond owners, or those away for extended periods due to work or vacation may require automated systems for feedings.
This automatic feeder is easy to set up and maintain, featuring an LCD screen for setting schedules for multiple tanks at once. Furthermore, its size-adjusting capability and manual ‘feed’ button make this feeder ideal if feeding is necessary outside your planned feeding times.
This adjustable clamp mountable or free standing food dispenser holds 200ml capacity of food for all kinds of flakes, pellets, and strips for aquarium fish.
Easy to program
An automatic fish feeder can be the ideal solution for aquarium owners with hectic lives who want to provide their pets with enough food each day, while at the same time being simple to set and manage. Dispensing food on an easily manageable schedule, this feeder prevents overfeeding by dispensing small portions. Simple setup and operation let you rest assured knowing your aquatic friend will receive exactly the amount they require each day.
Before purchasing an automatic feeder, always inspect its hopper size to ascertain how much food it can accommodate. Ideally, it should hold dry fish food such as pellets or flakes; wet foods tend to clump together and stick to the hopper or block its outlet, potentially preventing its proper function.
At local fish and pet stores, you’ll find various automatic fish feeders. When purchasing one in person, make sure to inspect each product to see how well it works before making your final purchase. Be sure to verify a warranty for any purchase of an automatic feeder as well.
