Tools of the Trade

Any recommendations...

 

Need to grab and place things - need a nice set of tongs,

 

I need something to spot feed fish (goby who is always hiding it a tight spot, anenome who moves)

Find a pair of tongs used for reptile feeding. They're inexpensive, thin, long, and usually made of high quality stainless steel.

 

For spot feeding, you can't go wrong with a simple turkey baster. The shy fish will usually begin to associate it with food and come out when you put it in the water.

I like the Eheim plant tongs because they're plastic and won't rust. They're better than the other plastic tongs.

 

I have a Julian's Thing tool that I'll probably never use. Let me know if you're interested.

Julian's Thing is great for spot feeding.

The main tools I keep around are tongs, Julian’s thing, and an acrylic rod as my poking stick.
