Type of review

Good product, works well. I have two of these that I use in the Eheim Aquastyle 9 Gallon Nano tanks. Eheim has a glass lid with a hole of about 1 inch. If this product is placed over a hole and the lid is closed, condensation will collect under the lid. I didn't like the air line option because the air line has to go in and out the back directly under the feeder and the air line curves (an air connection directly on the back would be much better). Another option is to simply remove the lid, but

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

One of the few options for Bettas

I needed a single Betta feeder and this was one of the few options available. Everyone else seems to be eating while the betta only eats 1 or 2 pellets a day. The shovel is not suitable for my needs. It has 14 separate compartments, in each of which you need to load the desired amount of food. You can feed 1 to 4 times a day. It takes a little time to put a pellet or two in each compartment, but that's up to 14 days of feeding, so it's a minor inconvenience. However, there was a small problem…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Non-Automatic

I have two of these for my tanks. They are great for dispensing small amounts of food like catfish pellets, but are definitely not ideal. The circular ring you see in the product image is divided into sections around the perimeter that accommodate the lining. Each time this outer ring rotates, one of the sections passes through a hole in the front of the device, allowing food to spill into your reservoir. In the center is a 24-hour timer that rotates continuously (one rotation per day). The…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Exactly what I needed!

I know a lot of people don't trust automatic feeders and most of the time they are right. However, the Fishmate F14 is a different type of feeder. It seems that most of the negative reviews are related to condensation, due to which the food soaks and prevents the device from rotating. Do you know what almost all of these reviews have in common? You don't connect an air pump to an air line nozzle (more on that later in the review)! When I first received my device I didn't use it either and after

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
