Product Overview:

This is a 3D-printed smart auxiliary device specifically designed to address feed wastage and water-quality pollution in aquariums. Its ingenious physical chute design transforms traditional “broadcast” feeding into “targeted, slow-flow” feeding. The device effectively prevents feed from scattering haphazardly or being washed away by water currents, ensuring that fish and shrimp can feed quickly and safely within a designated area—making it a practical tool for enhancing the aquaculture experience while protecting water quality.

Design Highlights:

• Funnel-guided, splash-free dispensing: The oversized funnel at the top allows you to pour pellet or flake feed with ease, without worrying about splattering. The funnel’s inner walls have been optimized to guide the feed smoothly and centrally into the narrow channel below.
• Unidirectional, slow-flow feeding zone: The square frame below connects to a tapered, transparent observation slot. This unique structure acts as a “reservoir,” where feed temporarily pools and slowly sinks, allowing fish and shrimp to feed easily from all sides for efficient consumption.
• Visual process monitoring: The square frame and the transparent chute beneath are made of highly transparent material (or assembled from clear acrylic or glass). You can clearly see through the side walls at any time to monitor the remaining feed level and the feeding activity of the fish and shrimp, enabling timely replenishment or adjustments to the feeding schedule.
• Flexible, adjustable clamping: Equipped with an L-shaped universal clamp featuring a star-shaped hand-tightening knob. Not only does it provide strong clamping force to securely attach to aquarium walls made of various thicknesses of ultra-clear glass, but loosening the knob also allows 360-degree free adjustment of the feeder’s angle and height, making it compatible with different water levels and tank layouts.

Technical Specifications:

• Applicable species: Widely suitable for all types of ornamental fish (such as guppies, danios, cichlids, etc.) and shrimp that require targeted feeding. Supports pellet feed, flake feed, and sinking-type feed.
• Product dimensions: Recommended frame size (length × width): approximately 6 cm × 6 cm; overall height (including the clamp): approximately 8–12 cm (adjustable).
• Installation method: The clamp attaches directly to the outer wall of the aquarium (recommended placement near or slightly below the water surface), with the feeder suspended inside the tank.
• Recommended materials: High-transparency PETG or rigid PLA (both offer excellent water resistance and remain stable over long-term exposure to moisture, without yellowing or becoming brittle).

Application scenarios:

• Anti-pollution feeding: In aquariums equipped with external filter barrels or drip-feed systems, it prevents excess feed from being drawn into the filtration system, thus reducing the risk of eutrophication.
• Precise, portion-controlled feeding: For small fry or valuable fish species with limited appetites, it effectively controls the amount of food per feeding, minimizing waste and preventing water quality degradation.
• Interactive observation window: As a dedicated feeding station for fish and shrimp, you can position your smartphone camera close to the transparent frame to capture vivid moments of them competing for food.
