The fish feeder works excellent with small and medium pellets. I have a large acqurium and even sometimes use large pellets and I have never had a problem. I happily recommend the fish feeder.

fish feeder works great, I used it to drop flakes, dried shrimps and blood worms all mixed together for my two anglefish and two catfish sharks

I have one beta fish, and rocks at the bottom of the aquarium. I tend to clean the bowl weekly as it gets a bit cloudy. But that said, I also tend to overfeed my fish a bit :)

Excellent question Larry. I fed them to my daughter's pet turtle. However, if you are looking to make fertilizer for your garden there are some great youtube videos on doing so. Try this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvM6OjIvY3w What they say in making one of these makes sense and if this is what you want to do I really hope it helps. When and if I get to this point I will likely

This can be the main food. I also use sinking pellet food for my Cory catfish and alge tablets for my pleco.

I don't see why not if you are buying the smaller pellets and the fish are already big mouthed. For instance, these don't work well with guppies whose mouths are too small. The fish need to be able to grab the pellets. The pellets don't muddy the water so a tank should be fine. Is there room in your tank for the fish to jump at the pellets without hitting the top of the tank? The pellets will float on the water. They are designed for fish that have colors like Koi and large goldfish. Have you considered purchasing the flakes?

The answer is; not optimally. The feeder works as advertised and is a great device to have for your turtle when you are on the road!! I have a similar mix to Zoo Med gourmet turtle food in my feeder and I've noticed that the delivery is inconsistent. The problem is the dried mealworms. They get stuck in all different directions and clog the feeder unless you open the little trap door wide enough. Unfortunately, this causes the dispensing of way too much food at one time in my opinion, (I only have the one turtle to feed). I think it would work really well with turtle food that is shaped in little balls or pellets. Other than that, a great little device! The answer is; not optimally.

I have the squirrel buster mini (older version) on the upper deck. Doves cannot use this feeder as they are big and cannot sit on the four perches provided. Woodpeckers (big and small) cling onto the feeder and family of cardinals (big and small) sit on the perches to feed all the time. This is the newer version of the mini and is better constructed.

Well, not sure what you mean by "small", but if you're talking newly-hatched to a few weeks old, we've found this one to work quite well for us over the last couple of years: Miller Manufacturing 806RED 1-Quart Baby Chick Feeder, Red (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Hope this helps answer your question! :)

My feeder is hanging from a shepherds hook that I put into a small PVC pipe that is just a bit smaller than the ring that came with the unit. I put the ring just about even with the bottom of where the feeder will hang, and screwed it tight. Then I slid the Torpedo down to rest on top of the attachment ring, and then put the shepherds hook into the PVC pipe. No squirrels or racoons have been able to get past this baffle. If you don't have the mounting ring that's suppose to be used, you can just get any metal screw clamp, and that will work just fine. The unit is suppose to swing free while resting on top of the clamp.

I use a rectangular type plastic scoop that you can pick up at at bird food retailers (any including big box stores). Lift the top up of the feeder and fill the scoop and open the slide on the bottom of the scoop. You can control the seed much better that way.

I use round kibble and it works great. You can adjust the feeder to the size of the kibble.

I'd say the mini if your cockatiel is scared of new toys, but the original will last you longer. My cockatiels are really nervous with new toys so this isn't something they are interested in. I tried to ease them into the idea by giving them one yucca chip off of the toy, but they are weird and didn't like it. They hissed and ran away. My Indian Ringneck Parakeet - larger than a conure - on the other hand loves all of these toys - any size. He will work at destroying them like it's his day job.

it depends on the load on the filters. i have two large cichlids that are housed in a 125 gal aquarium and mostly feed them live minnows. the pellets seem to be alot of waste because when they eat them about half escapes out their gills and mouth. monitor your aquarium regularly withe a test kit. this will help you get a feel of how often you need to change carbon and zeolite media if that is what your going to use. love the penn-plax filters best bang for your bucks!

depends how big the turtle is.. its a beautiful tank but small. I have a few little fish in mine. I wouldn't put a turtle in it

A feeder like the previous poster mentioned. They also come in metal. Buy the plastic jar mentioned on that page and fill it with food. It screws into the base. Same with the water (with the base for water). With the metal base I was able to use a mason jar- just fyi.

It's underneath the tank and the tubes run up to the tank, one feeding in and one feeding out. Probably good for fish but I have turtles and it was not at all adequate -- I barely used it and am looking to sell it cheap ...
