Review on 🐠 Zacro Automatic Fish Feeder: Rechargeable Timer with USB Charger - Ideal Fish Food Dispenser for Aquarium or Fish Tank by Travis Caminiti

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to use feeder for large rectangular aquariums

I bought this feeder to use in my betta aquarium for a few weeks when I get home from college. I was looking for something that can release a small amount of granules several times a day to better regulate feeding as the betta is the only fish in the tank and it has shrimp mates. However, it is not suitable for this. The feeder interface is extremely user-friendly. I had no problem setting the time, number of feedings, number of revolutions for each feeding, and daily feeding time. It has a basic battery indicator and holds a pretty decent charge (although it wasn't used all the time, it lasted two weeks and still has a full battery). tank glass. It tends to slide along the curved sides of my tank (which is why I only recommend using it on rectangular tanks). Adjusting the amount of feed per turn is as easy as moving the small feed door on top of the feeder cup. . I've found that this is only good for setting the feed amount for small pellets if you need 20 or more to feed on the smallest setting (based on API brand floating betta pellets). As someone who prefers 3-4 pellets twice a day, I had to change the opening with tape to limit the amount. Refueling is very easy. The cup is detachable and there is a large door on the side. USB charging is quick and easy using a standard micro USB cable. The device arrived partially charged. The only thing to consider is the size of the device. It holds a very large amount of food and was very oversized for my setup. For the price I don't regret my purchase. I had to modify it for my use case, but it's a well-built and easy-to-use feeder that will work very well for the average user. Pros: easy-to-use interface, USB charging, easy installation, large battery, large feed capacity, many feeding options Cons: large size, feed door can release too much feed for a small number of fish (can lead to overfeeding), no catching clip On for curved aquariums
