Automatic fish feeders can be an excellent way to ensure your aquarium or pond remains well-fed while you’re away, but it’s crucial that you understand their proper usage so as not to overfeed your fish and compromise water quality.
This feeder features 14 individual trays to hold different foods such as fish flakes or algae wafers, and allows you to set an automatic timer that releases it directly into your tank at feeding time.

3. Aquascape Automatic Fish Feeder
This automatic feeder works much like those pill containers your grandma used, with one tray featuring a programmable timer for pre-stocking with fish food and rotating and dispensing it into your aquarium at feeding time. Compatible with most popular types of dry fish food like flakes, pellets and powders.
This feeder offers the added advantage of being one of only a few feeders to be pluggable (like a receptacle). Therefore it saves on batteries while operating up to three months when fully charged.
This design also helps prevent water ingress by switching up how the drum dispenses food, thus helping prevent soggy or moldy food from getting dispersed into its system.
4. Fish Mate F2
F2 Hybrid Besters are an innovative fish breed designed to be resistant to disease and parasites while simultaneously producing high yields. These tropical fish species are classified as wild caught (WC), meaning they’ve been imported directly from where they were caught in nature.
Results demonstrated that variance of standard length within shoals significantly affected distance travelled and time of collective inactivity following mechanical disturbance cues designed to cause P. taeniatus fish to exhibit fear responses, or freeze. This suggests shoal homogeneity is an influential factor when making decisions about shoaling decisions; high levels of homogeneity tend to produce tighter shoals. Furthermore, faster recovery after disturbance simulation in inbred populations could be related to inter-individual interactions which produced more coordinated reactions against potentially threatening stimuli.
