home aquariums

Above in connection with the "Lighting" theme we mentioned that our floating pets can be trained to a certain daily routine. "Internal clock" will be with sufficient accuracy to tell them when it is time to feed. Do fish get used to certain hours of the meal, to a large extent depends on the owner, from his daily routine. But in all cases it is advisable always to feed fish in the same run time and feed them into the same part of the aquarium. Usually it is enough feeding once a day: in the morning or in the evening. It makes more sense to offer them food in the morning, as they are better able to digest it throughout the day. Whoever provides the juveniles must carve out more time to ensure that their pet food in small portions many times a day. Spawning fish before and after spawning in need of more abundant food.

Fodder machines

In many cases, feed machines are a great help, especially when the fish should get food for them in the usual hours in the absence of the owner. Many firms offer such devices; Prices vary widely, and functionality too. There are among these products are very small, which, as they say, without the glasses will not make out; there are also (but the cost is much higher), which can be operated "single-handedly". Therefore, when purchasing feed machine need to think about what, in fact, help you expect from him. For example, if you have a nursery aquarium containing fish fry and they need to be fed at regular intervals, the machine must be able to perform this task, you have to have a function for frequent feeding. Other questions: what is food? Only cereal? Feed the pill? Should together with the feed to enter the water, medicines? Do you have a free outlet or the unit will run on batteries? What is the maximum amount of time can be set on a timer? Feeding system consists of a timer, on the instructions of which is driven by the proper unit for supplying feed. Since most machines connected to the network, but are near water, be sure to note the presence of the icon, which guarantees water resistance of conductive parts. Good forage machines can take on another two-connection - for example, the upper lamps. There are automatic, fitted with a special device to turn off the filter pump or aerator at the time of feeding. After some time after the feed pump, filter, etc. switched on again ( "S t eward 85"). The company "Eheim" offers machines that work and from the network, and a battery. Since all these devices are in the humid air above the aquarium, they must be provided with a thermal device that is not moistened feed. "Rondomatic" is a device with an attachment designed for 28 days and was equipped with the same number of small feed bowls; They are also intended for short-term liquid additive substances.
