Automatic Fish Feeder for Aquarium Portion Control & Moisture-Proof

It's a fish feeder. It does everything I want it to do. Its rechargeable. It supports multiple schedules. The amount of food your fish get is based on how much you put in each slot and how often you schedule it to feed them. I use 1 on my saltwater/coral tank and 1 on my fresh water cichlid tank. It lasts over a week for both tanks. It could go longer, and the battery is not the concern - it's the frequency/amount of food you need to provide. My saltwater tank requires multiple smaller feedings per day vs the cichlids which get a large feeding once per day. If you are going to be gone multiple weeks and require multiple feedings per day you might need 2 of these on your tank. They are easy to program, so it should not be hard to figure out how many slots to feed per day. Only word of advice for anyone purchasing these is to keep a ~70% battery charge on them when you are not using them. If you are like me, you only use them while you are on vacation. In that situation, if you store this with 0% battery charge you will ruin the battery. Storing at 100% charge is not great, but better than 0%... ~70% is optimal for lithium batteries. (This advice it to get the longest life you can possibly get out of the battery!. Lithium batteries are delicate and require maintenance! Don't blame the product if you let the battery sit at 0% charge for a year and it doesn't work when you want to go on vacation)

Tried several auto fish feeders, and the others (esp the ones that look like the shape of a gun dispenser) will dispense way too much food, which is a nightmare if you're using this for a trip and don't have anyone else to care and feed for your beloved pet fish. I like that you can determine how much food per feeding will be dispensed, and you can set a timer so that it feeds three different times throughout the day (or you can opt for just once). The other autofeders that I tried requires you to attach the feeder to one of the aquarium walls, which didn't work for my setup because I have fish that jump, and so, I prefer a lid over my aquarium. This feeder is excellent if you use a lid and it has a feeding hole. To do this, I placed it right above the feeding hole, and it dispenses pretty well at the time(s) you set. If you prefer to afix the feeder to your aquarium wall, it comes with a screw and stand so that you can do that too. I like the versatile options! It is wireless and charges pretty quickly, and the charge lasts a long time. The last time I charged it was almost 2 weeks ago, and I haven't had the need to charge it yet. One caveat is that though it works really really well, you might need to train/condition your fish that the food will come from the feeding hole if you don't use the hole on a regular basis or an autofeeder. After a week or so of training my fish, he knew to come up in the morning for his food. Otherwise, the food would've just floated away, dirtying the water. This autofeeder is exactly what I was looking for in terms of ease of setup, reliability, and amount of food dispensed. This will save me time and money from asking friends or others to stop by and care/feed my fish. When traveling and no one is checking on my fish, I set up a Blink camera to ensure all is well with my pet. The Blink camera and this fish feeder are a game changer for anyone looking for an auto feeder!

This was my third goldfish feeder and remains my preferred device. I really like it and would purchase again. -Its design allows precise control of the food quantity, since I put the desired volume in each bin. Though the programming allows for up to 3 feedings per day this decreases the number of days it'll feed--there are 16 bins but it seems possible to only use 15 for feeding. 15 days if it's once daily. -Programming is straightforward. Long-press the setup button, the short-press to toggle through time and feeding settings. Each has its own spot on the display, so it's easy to understand and navigate. If you use it for one tank setup and the settings are going to be the same with each vacation, you might only need to set-up once (I choose to ignore the daylight-savings time change since feeding at 9:30a or 10:30a doesn't matter to my Goldie.) -Long-lasting and rechargeable battery--I take 4-5 vacations per year and only need to recharge once per year. The battery holds the charge a long time. Remember to turn it off when not in use. -Easy to mount on the tank edge. Mine has no plastic trim on the top, just the edge of glass, but the attachment hardware seems very adjustable. Possible issue: -the "bin" style of feeding likely works best with pellet food. I have not tried with flake food, but it seems possible some flakes might not move with each bin movement, since the "floor" remains stationary with each rotation.

(EDIT 10/26/2024) The unit finally died, only noticed when I noticed the fish seemed more excited about me coming over to the tank. I was initially worried since I saw some reviews stating the unit wouldn’t charge. Luckily, it plugged right in and charged up quickly. Because it fully died, I had to change the time a little bit so it actually lined up with the correct time. Other than that, it’s doing fine! I put it back on top the tank and made sure it had food. No issues from me so far. Condensation on the bottom of the unit from previous review doesn’t seem to have affected the food. (EDIT - 4/6/2024) The feeder seems to be going great! My fish have learned where the food is and they seem to be doing well. I have noticed a little moisture on the bottom of the feeder but I don’t think it will cause issues. It doesn’t seem to have any moisture buildup inside the unit’s feeding sections but I will check occasionally. I use flake food which works but SUPER tiny flakes sometimes get caught underneath the walls when it rotates. Not an issue for me. May require cleaning but as of right now it doesn’t seem to be an issue. It drops probably 99% of the food into the tank. I still have not had to charge it. (2/29/2024 - First Day) I just set this thing up on the top of my 40-gallon tank. I have an Aqueon top with a plastic strip and a hole cut into it. The feeding window is almost the same size as the plastic strip, so I hope food doesn't get caught on the top. Opening the book, it was fairly simple to set up. The buttons were a tad confusing but using some common sense I managed to figure it out nicely. I set it for 1 feeding a day and tested the manual feed button. It seemed to work well so I loaded the food. I am using flake food, which might get caught in the walls but I guess we will wait and see. It seems like decent portions for my 40-gallon; I only have a few smaller fish, some snails, and plants and it can easily fit my usual feeding amount in each spot with plenty of room. I used the suction cups to mount it on the top of the tank instead of the clamp, which slips off nicely. The suction cups seem to hold it but I wouldn't trust it to hang over a precarious edge. One of the suction cups seems to slip and the unit can be pushed slightly left and right. It took a few hours to be "full charge", so we will see how long it takes before the charge ran out. It wasn't a bad price compared to other feeders on the market. I like this one because if this does work, it has the benefit of being able to easily set the amount of food unlike rotating barrel feeders. The fish were first confused where their food was since this is their first automatic feeder so I will be monitoring it to make sure it is dispensing food properly.

This is actually a very well designed, compact feeder. I've only used them once so far, battery life seems strong. Pros: Easy to program. Suckers on bottom adhere well to glass or plexy tank lids. Dependable. Cons: depending on needs I found these to be more suitable for tanks with smaller fish. Each feeding compartment is relatively small. They appear to handle small pellets and flake quite well, but for larger fish (Like my African Cichlids and Discus) packing the compartments with large food types caused jamming in the compartment, and the food wasn't dropped. This CAN be overcome by packing the compartments with less food and programming the feeder for multiple compartment feeding for each feeding cycle. However, if you plan to be away from home for multiple days, there probably won't be enough compartments to handle the requirement. Overall, very well designed, compact feeder. I'll continue to use these for my smaller variety fish, but go back to my Bluetooth barrel type feeders for my larger variety fish tanks.

I’ve ordered this item several times for my larger aquariums. They work incredibly well if you set them up correctly and use the correct type of food. I do not use flakes. If you place this near water that splashes up it will not work correctly. Place it away from filters and bubblers. The food will go bad/clump if you do this. It’s very easy to setup and easy to test. You can set up a specific time for it to dispense. The charge lasts for several weeks worth of use.

I left for a week and my fish were fed on schedule! The feeder itself was easy to set up, fill, and was of pretty good quality. The bottom of the feeder has suction cups so it wouldnt fall into the tank. It also came with an attachment to allow it to be clamped to the top of the tank. I would absolutely recommend this feeder!

Stopped working after three uses, tried changing the batteries but the screen is blank no matter what I do

Good product, works 100%

Ce distributeur est génial ! Je ne l'utilise pas pour des poissons mais pour mon chat. Je cherchais un distributeur qui distribue de très minuscules portions. Mon chat me réveille toutes les nuits pour manger. Pour le contenter un peu par rapports à ses repas en journée, je cherchais un petit appareil qui le nourrisse et me laisse dormir. Cet appareil est parfait !! Tout petit, je peux distribuer des mini portions de croquettes, elles rentrent sans problème dans les compartiments. Ce qui est super c'est que je peux déclencher de 1 à 3 portions du disque à chaque déclenchement. Un compartiment permet de mettre environ 3 grammes de croquettes chat. Donc on peut donner globalement jusqu'à 9 grammes à chaque déclenchement. On n'entend absolument le mécanisme il est totalement silencieux. L'ouverture de la trappe qui libère la nourriture est amusante à regarder Comme le distributeur est petit il ne prend pas de place au dessus de l'écuelle en inox, ce qui ne gêne pas le chat pour y manger. On peut le visser sur un rebord ou le ventouser sur une surface. La programmation des repas est très simple, j'ai pu le faire sans notice, les boutons sont intuitifs à comprendre. L'appareil est arrivé chargé, mais dans la notice il est conseillé de le recharger la 1ère fois. On verra avec le temps si le distributeur reste fiable

Very good

Llevo 2 años con él y tengo que decir que va muy bien, fácil de programar y con batería recargable. Muy recomendable para vacaciones.

The Petbank Automatic Fish Feeder for Aquarium is an absolute lifesaver, especially when you're planning to go on vacation. This auto fish food dispenser is great because you can set it to feed your fish up to 4 times a day. I have a 20-gallon fish tank with only 2 clownfish, so I do small feedings and control the amount of food in each feeding. It's been working perfectly for us. One of the standout features of this feeder is its long-lasting battery. After a full charge, the battery lasts for a couple of months, which is fantastic. You don’t have to worry about recharging it frequently, making it ideal for extended trips. Setting it up is quite easy, thanks to the USB charger cable included. The feeder has slips you can stick on the edge of the tank, ensuring it stays securely in place. No more worries about your fish going hungry while you're away! A few additional pros: Customization: The ability to set four different feeding times a day is a huge plus. It allows for flexibility and ensures your fish are well-fed throughout the day. Controlled Portions: You can easily control the amount of food dispensed, which is great for preventing overfeeding. Durability: The build quality seems sturdy and reliable, promising long-term use. However, here is a minor con: Edge Fit: While the slips are a great addition, they might not fit perfectly on all tank types, so make sure to check compatibility. Overall, the Petbank Automatic Fish Feeder is a fantastic investment for any fish owner. It’s perfect for vacations and ensures that your aquatic friends are well-fed even when you’re not around. Highly recommend for peace of mind and happy fish! Edit: added a video of the rotation in action. I'm going on vacation and don't want my salt water fishes to go hungry. If this review helped please give it a like :)
