Copperband feeders

[JeremyS]

I saw this idea somewhere on the interweb so I won't claim credit, but thought I'd share. The are very simple and cheap. Just a 1" PVC plug and cap with a couple holes drilled in it. I found a stick of marine epoxy I had given up on and decided to cover the PVC so it looked more natural.

 

Pieces

 

Put a little epoxy in the plug bottom so food wouldn't be out of reach.

 

Covered the cap with epoxy and let it set.

 

Just drop the food in the plug, cover with the cap, and drop in the tank.

Paul B has something similar that he uses. Now, is there a good frozen food to put in there?

Jan's, my Copperband loves it.

You just wait for the food to dissolve and it comes out?

Does this float or sink? (monday am...brain trying)

That's an idea, maybe it hangs upside down floating? It's ok, I'm still trying to grasp it as well.

I'm guessing it sinks and the copperband uses its long schnoz to poke into the holes for feeding.

For Copperbands. That makes sense. My fault for not reading the title, I got caught up thinking about the rest of my fish and how I could use it
