Review on ๐Ÿ  Effortless Betta Care: Introducing the Zoo Med BettaMatic Automatic Daily Betta Feeder by Justin Vasquez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not perfect but good considering it's the only male feeder

To be honest I would have bought a different feed if there was any other special male food on would have given to the market. The reviews made me nervous, so I tested it for a few days and found similar issues. I think the biggest issue I've had that isn't mentioned in the reviews is that the hole can end up right or left when the fodder ball is spun. This means when the feeder puts down food, he puts it aside. If you have a traditional tank or an open, wide bowl, this shouldn't be a problem. But I have a tank for Back to the Roots, so the hole where the tank isn't closed isn't big enough to accommodate food coming in from the side. I ended up putting a thin tubular foam on top of the feeder ball so when the feed hits the side it goes into the tank. The second thing that worries me is the amount of food being served. It is too much. I know the troubleshooting advice says to adjust the inner cone to get a smaller value, but the instructions say the cone opening should face to the left. And to test, you have to wait a day to see what happens.

Pros
  • Automatically feeds males once a day
Cons
  • I don't remember
