How to choose an automatic feeder
An automatic feeder feeds your fish on time, even when you are away.
Schedule
Choose a feeder that can be programmed for several feeds a day.
Portion
Test the portion for a few days before you leave and check no food is left on the bottom.
Dry food
Mount the feeder above the water and away from vapour so the food stays dry.

Which food works in an automatic feeder?
Granules and small pellets work best, as they do not stick or crumble. Flakes can clump together in damp air.
What is a feeding ring for?
A feeding ring keeps floating food in one place so it does not drift into the filter. Fish also learn a fixed feeding spot.

Fish need food regularly, but their owner is not always at home. An automatic feeder gives a small portion at set times and keeps the feeding rhythm steady during holidays, business trips or simply long working days. That way nobody else has to come round to feed the fish.
The range includes programmable automatic feeders, a smart feeder controlled from a phone app, a feeder bracket and a feeding ring for floating food. A feeder fixes to the rim of the tank or into an opening in the lid, and the size of its food container decides how many feeds it holds.
A common mistake is overfilling the feeder or setting the portion too large: leftovers rot and spoil the water. Rather set a smaller portion twice a day. You will find the right amount by watching the feeder for a couple of days before you leave.
