Automatic Fish Feeder for Aquarium Portion Control & Moisture-Proof

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.

I have purchased 3 of these autofeeders for my fishtanks. They make fish feeding when I am on vacation (or even just busy with life on a daily basis) so easy. Love that I don't have to worry about my fish being overfed by my petsitter (we all know how much of a disaster that can be when it destroys your water quality when you are gone!). In my experience, these autofeeders are reliable and make feeding my fish their usual mix of foods super simple.

I charged it fully before filling it and setting it up. For my use, it only needs to feed pellets once per day. I excitedly programmed and filled the unit. I had the old barrel style one of these as a kid and getting this new spaceship style model brought out the kid in me. I hit the button to manually test the feed and it worked great. I placed it perfectly over the gap, then went around bragging to the house that we were on two weeks of hands free autopilot. Just watch and enjoy! Wrong. The next day, I check on it after the programmed time and it hadn't fed. I push the button to make it feed and the battery is dead. The battery did not survive 24 hours. Okay. Maybe that was a programming error? I tried again. Triple checked everything. Still dead in less than a day. Valid questions concerning the claims of two week autopilot ensued. "Is this the part where we watch and enjoy?" Fair. Now this is just an organized food storage tray with a clock that has to be charged daily for even just the clock to work.

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 bought the Petbank CY-109 to make feeding my betta fish easier, especially when I’m away, and it has worked very well. The individual compartments make it easy to portion out exactly how much food I want the fish to receive instead of relying on a feeder that simply dumps out a random amount. Setup took a little bit of experimenting, but once I understood the controls, programming the feeding times was straightforward. I also really like that it is rechargeable, so I don’t have to worry about constantly replacing batteries. The LCD display makes it easy to see the settings, and the different mounting options are helpful depending on the type of aquarium you have. I mounted mine onto a simple fish bowl and it was very easy. The moisture-resistant design is another big plus. I would still keep it away from splashing water since it isn’t waterproof, but the design does a good job of keeping the food protected. The biggest advantage for me is the consistency. Once it’s programmed, I don’t have to worry about remembering every feeding, and the portions are much more predictable. Overall, this is a very useful feeder, especially for vacations or anyone who wants a consistent feeding schedule. It feels well designed and has plenty of useful features without being unnecessarily complicated.

(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.

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)

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

Funciona a la perfección. Le puedes poner la cantidad de comida que desees y hace las comidas diarias que necesitan los peces. Para acuarios con tapa curva es perfecto, ya que se ajusta perfectamente a la abertura para alimentación que suelen traer estas tapas. No se humedece la comida y la trampilla de abertura y cierre va genial. Después de probar con otros de marcas con nombre y formatos diferentes, este es 100% recomendable.

Very good

Lässt sich gut programmieren, dank der einzelnen Fächer, kann man für jede Portion Situierung individuell etwas zusammenstellen, hat bei mir mit Flocken footer, Granulat und Futtertabletten funktioniert. Auch alle drei zusammen in einer der Schubladen. Die Fische waren nach vier Tagen mit der Fütterung alle wohlauf und die Schubladen waren komplett entleert.
