Special HonorsPond King Floating Fish Feeder Automated supplemental feeding is often a must when you’ve got a large pond or a lake full of fish. This American-made feeder has a four-float design for stability, even during strong storms. Thanks to its powder-coated, all-aluminum construction, it’s made to last for years. Filling it is quick and easy with the weighted-loop anchor option, which you can use to pull it into the shoreline or up to your dock.
This mechanism comes with 100 feet of rope, a stake, and a cinder block anchor with swivel. You can even attach a weight to the swivel and fill the feeder from a boat.
An optional remote control makes it easy to feed the fish with the press of a button. It’s equipped with a programmable timer and a varmint guard, the optional anchor kit, and an optional battery and solar panel. Editor's NotesJanuary 08, 2020:The moves into the number one spot on our list in this update, as it’s as reliable as they come and provides a good value for its low price of under $25 at this time. It features a drum volume of 3.3 fluid ounces (which is 100 milliliters) and can be programmed via its user-friendly LCD to dispense food up to eight times in a 24-hour period. It’s compatible with most types of food, and it can even be used to feed non-fish pets like gerbils or hamsters.For a simple, lower-tech model, look to the newly added, which doesn’t use a digital screen, but just one simple button to program it to feed your fish, once, twice, or three times a day.
It does have handy, color-coded lights so you can tell with a quick glance which of the three feeding frequencies you have set up. Rubber grips on its underbelly keep it from moving around easily, while an interior weight keeps it from tipping over when it’s filled with food.If you’ve got a whole pond full of mouths to feed, check out the, which has a 4.25-liter capacity.
It conveniently can stand freely, or it can also be mounted to a base, so you’ll really be able to place it anywhere around your pond. It’s programmable for up to 99 days, so you truly can set it and forget it.If you’re also in the market for a home for your fish, be sure to check out our list of the, which feature small models designed to hold one or two fish, all the way up to 50-gallon ones that can hold plenty of piscine creatures, other animals, and plants. They say that fish have short memories. More recent studies, but it's a good myth, so it persists.
If it were true, and fish really had a memory of about 30 seconds, how would they ever remember to eat? One moment they'd realize they were hungry, and the next moment they'd forget. Then, they'd remember again and forget again. They'd probably starve.It's a good thing, then, that they aren't in charge of their own food, at least not when they're in your pond or aquarium. They face another problem there, however, and this one is not a myth: People are forgetful.I can recall the names of musicians in obscure indie bands from the 90s, I can remember the years most films came out, and I can usually remember to dress myself in the morning. I never remember to change it.

That rent check? It's coming late. I've got the money, I just apparently don't know how to read a calendar.Until you're in the thick of it, you can't know what you can and cannot trust yourself to remember. That's why having a system that will automatically feed your fish is so crucial, especially to new tank owners or to folks who like to jet-set around the globe and can't be home to distribute the flakes.These automatic feeders come in a variety of styles, but they all operate on the same basic principle.
There's a timer in each that you program to release a predetermined amount of food at a given hour or hours in the day. The feeder itself attaches to your tank or lives at the lip of your pond for easy feeding.At the strike of that hour, your feeder either releases food from a single-serving-sized chamber or it opens a release door just long enough for gravity to take a certain amount of flakes down to the water. Finding Your Feeding ScheduleKnowing exactly why you need an automatic fish feeder will lead you quickly to a small number of options off our list, and the parameters of your tank or pond should get you even closer to a choice.There are some models on our list that let you go even longer between refills and that have adjustable quantity releases to suit your specific swimmers.Personally, I work pretty long days. Sometimes I'm out of the house 16-18 hours. If I owned a dog, it would likely out of spite.
If I owned a cat, it would get carried away by a coyote. So, I turn to fish, and an automatic feeder keeps me from having to buy new fishy friends every few weeks.Technically, I don't need a fish feeder that can store more than a couple of day's worth of food, but I also don't want to refill the thing every night, so I reach for a model with a slightly larger hopper, that way I can go a long weekend without worrying that my fish have been roped into a hunger strike against their will.There are some models on our list that let you go even longer between refills and that have adjustable quantity releases to suit your specific swimmers. If you're the type to take longer or pleasure, you want a feeder that's got a large hopper and a very controllable release schedule.There are more enormous models to choose from, with hoppers measuring in pounds instead of ounces, and these are outfitted less for your aquarium and more for an outdoor pond (which I hope is a redundant term, and that you don't have a pond your living room). A Fish Under Your BedWe have the Romans to thank for bringing fish indoors. Leaders of that great empire kept sea barbels in marble tanks under their beds and the beds of their wealthy visitors.
Why exactly they kept them under the bed is a bit of a mystery, but we'll assume it was as close as they could come to snuggling up to something warmer, fluffier, and air-breathing.By 1860, the Germans, British, and French all had large aquariums in their public zoos, housing both fresh and saltwater creatures.The Roman aristocrats had the first automatic fish feeders, as well:! They couldn't be programmed as easily, and their upkeep was plenty more complicated, but they were also multi-taskers, so feeding Roman fish only accounted for a portion of their duties.The first aquariums of note appeared in the early 19th century, when Jeanne Villepreux-Power created a sealed that eventually also held water and fish. By 1860, the Germans, British, and French all had large aquariums in their public zoos, housing both fresh and saltwater creatures.One hundred years later, superior sealants of tar and silicone allowed consumers in the US their first opportunity to own saltwater fish at home without the fear of corrosion and the eventual collapse of the system.One of the earliest patents for an automatic, electric fish feeder dates the device back to 1953, when Seymour Smolin proposed a fish feeder with timed cycles, a hopper for storage, and a device for attaching the feeder to the side of a home aquarium.
