Maximus297759 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Well I have 2 aquarium 125 gallon 8 Thai orandas in each. Aquariums 6ft long and a lot food wouldn’t be found so I did this. I feed goldfish is bowls. Might help someone else I have plenty algae for bristlenose I don’t need over feed. 1.I have auto feeder at top giving small snails all day. 2. Then a funnel with a sponge filter shooting water down it get cyclone motion. 3. Down a shrimp pipe to bowl. 4. I also have lights go off minute and as soon pop on auto feeder drops food. I don’t think 1 pellet gets lost. I do feed a messy vegetable mix since goldfish and bowl helps contain mess. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/6O_7hpLvQrO2t-ium3lmEQ.yUcO9qdMnlpTfshH-He5Gj https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/d08tQ6WzTqmNSUm4DRRaBg.x_gwhGwjQwdpjktoEKjQL0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateGoldfish Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 1 mm food is totally fine for goldfish of any size If that is what your asking, they will eventually learn where you drop or the feeder drops the food in and when, goldfish are actually pretty smart. Plus they like to forage for food so even if it gets lost along the substrate they will find it and eat it eventually, nothing can hide from them.

Maximus297759 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 If you have 6 ft aquarium 2ftx2ft fish have hard time finding food. Just showing way I do it fish find every single drop. They all eat out of a bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anewbie Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Which auto feeder do you use? Btw fishes have an excellent sense of smell and will find that food no matter where it drops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the snail feeder idea for my Pea Puffer tank that will help with overflow of my Favorite Ramshorn Snails in the big tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I'm sure you're aware that fish have nostrils and can home in on food to it's precise location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
