Let me start by saying this little gadget has been a game-changer for my aquarium routine. As someone who travels frequently, the fishkeeper Automatic Fish Feeder has taken the stress out of leaving my betta fish unattended.

The 16-sealed grid system is brilliant - I can mix different food types (though avoid flakes!) and set precise portions. Each compartment holds about 2 grams, which is perfect for my feeding schedule. The moisture-proof design actually works - no more returning to find clumpy, damp food stuck in the dispenser.

Setting up the timer was confusing at first (the manual isn't super clear), but after some trial and error, I've got it programmed for 2 feedings daily. The memory function is a lifesaver - when we had a brief power outage last month, it picked right back up without missing a feeding.

I love the flexibility in mounting options. The clamp works perfectly on my 10-gallon tank's rim, though it does look a bit bulky. Pro tip: If you're using pellets like me, make sure they're between 0.1-4mm for smooth dispensing.

The rechargeable battery lasts forever - I've gone three months without needing to charge it. Though if you're paranoid like me, you can keep it plugged in continuously.

My only complaints? The LCD screen could be brighter, and programming the custom feeding times requires patience. But these are minor quibbles compared to the peace of mind this feeder provides when I'm away from home.

After six months of use, I can confidently say this is one of the best aquarium investments I've made. It's saved me countless trips home during vacations just to feed my fish!
