Aoyar Automatic Fish Feeder Dispenser, 200 ml, for flakes and pellets

This automatic fish feeder from Aoyar holds 200 ml of food in its cylinder and drops it into the aquarium at intervals you pick from the settings page. Three fixed modes are available: every 8, 12 or 24 hours. The feeder suits flakes, granules, powder and strips, and its clamp base grips a tank cover between 0 and 1 inch thick.

How the feeder dispenses food

You set the interval with the button on the settings page, and the mode you choose repeats at 8, 12 or 24 hours. A slider adjusts how much food each feed releases. The hopper takes 200 ml.

A manual mode lets you dispense a portion at any moment, outside the set rhythm. For small fish the manufacturer recommends the 24-hour setting. The lid is built to keep water vapour out of the feed cylinder, and the body rotates 360° so you can angle the outlet toward the water.

What comes with the Aoyar feeder

• The feeder itself, in black plastic, measuring 15 x 7 x 12 cm (5.9 x 2.8 x 4.7 in).
• An adjustable clamp base that fits a tank cover 0 to 1 inch thick.
• A double-sided sticker as an alternative way to fix the unit to the cover.

Checks before you mount it

Measure the thickness of your tank cover first: the clamp base is made for covers from 0 to 1 inch, and a cover outside that range is not held by it. If your cover has no edge the clamp can grip, the double-sided sticker is the second fixing method the manufacturer lists.

Food type matters too. The cylinder is meant for flakes, granules, powder and strips, and no other food form is named. The unit is 15 cm long and 12 cm high, so the spot on the cover needs room for that footprint.

How many feeding intervals can I choose?

How much food does the hopper hold?

The capacity is 200 ml. A slider sets how much of that is released at each feed.

Can I feed the fish outside the schedule?

Yes, a manual mode releases food at any time. The timer settings stay as they are.

How thick a tank cover does the clamp take?

The adjustable clamp base fits a cover from 0 to 1 inch thick. A double-sided sticker is supplied for fixing it to the cover instead.

What food types can go in the cylinder?

Flakes, granules, powder and strips. The manufacturer also suggests a 24-hour interval for small fish.

Setting up and running the feeder

Fill the cylinder, then fasten the unit to the tank cover with the clamp base or the sticker. Open the settings page and press the button until the 8, 12 or 24-hour mode you want is selected, then move the slider to the portion size. Leave the moisture-proof lid closed over the feed cylinder between feeds, and use the manual mode whenever you want to dispense a portion yourself.
