Let me start by saying this shrimp feeding dish is a game-changer for some, but it might not be the perfect fit for everyone. The high-quality acrylic material is indeed clear and non-toxic, making it safe for all types of aquarium pets. I particularly loved how easy it was to monitor food levels thanks to its transparency.

The suction cup is a hit or miss. When it works, it works great! I've used it in my betta tank, and the little guy quickly learned where his food would be. No more scavenging through rocks or missing meals. The suction held up well in this scenario, and cleaning was a breeze.

However, I did run into some issues when trying to use it in my community tank with stronger water flow. Like some reviewers mentioned, the dish is so light that even moderate water movement can displace it. I ended up placing a small decorative stone inside to weigh it down - problem solved!

The square design is perfect for corner placement in bare-bottom tanks (a big plus over round dishes), but it does take up noticeable space. My shrimp took a while to warm up to it, but now they're regular visitors during feeding time.

One major caveat: quality control seems inconsistent. While my unit arrived in perfect condition, some customers reported receiving scratched or damaged products. Also, don't expect this to work for holding plants - that's just not what it's designed for.

Final verdict? If you need a dedicated feeding station for bottom feeders in a low-flow tank and get a good unit, this dish can be wonderful. But if you have strong water movement or expect multi-purpose use, you might want to look elsewhere or be prepared to modify its use.
