Hi Peoples!
I have had a good look through the net looking for an auotmatic fish feeder that can feed small amounts up to 6 times per day.
Are these available?
The most is up to 4 times a day.
Also i have never used one, are they any good?
cheers

yes they are good but the food needs to be replace every day as it rots. otherwise they are very handy things to have. them most feeds i have ever seen them do is 4

Are you sure you really want it to do that many times ?
6 times dry food a day is pretty boring, and if your on holidays best to cut down on feeding or not at all for short periods.Dave

Dave, My thoughts were to feed some young 6 times a day over the weekend as i work a lot.
I would use breeders premium. But through out the week there would be a lot of variety.
I would not want to stunt the young by feeding them once early in the morning and 15 hours later once again. I would only use the feeder 2 days per week. What do you think?
cheers,
Ben

Sounds fine Ben ... thought this was maybe a permanent feeding solution or you were going on a 2 week overseas trip or something.
Autofeeders are great and alot of fun to setup

A number of people use auto feeders with great success. Proteus uses them on some of his tanks. He might be able to give us some more info. on the ones he uses.
Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

I use the Eheim auto feeders on all my tanks...
EXCELLENT...
In regards to the food rotting comment, that is not correct (not in the Eheim anyway) the food remains fresh, and never blocks.
Expensive, but worth the peace of mind, it allows for four seperate feedings, either one or two rotations.
