I've been using these stainless steel veggie feeders for my Malawi cichlids and clown loaches, and wow—what a difference! No more floating cucumber slices getting stuck in filters or zucchini turning into mushy debris. The design is brilliantly simple: just skewer the veggies, drop it in, and watch your bottom-dwellers swarm like it's an underwater buffet.

What surprised me most was how my plecos transformed. They used to be shy grazers, but now they boldly cling to these feeders like little vacuum cleaners. The stainless steel stays shiny even after months of use (I toss them in the dishwasher occasionally), and unlike plastic alternatives, there's no weird film or discoloration.

Pro tip: For longer fish like loaches, I wedge the veggies horizontally rather than vertically to prevent curious swimmers from getting stuck. Also works amazingly for blanched spinach—my snails ride it like a leafy merry-go-round!

The only upgrade I'd love? A tiny retrieval chain. Sometimes my cichlids drag the feeder into their cave fortresses, and fishing it out with tongs feels like an aquatic treasure hunt. Still, at this price for 3 packs, it's revolutionized my feeding routine while keeping my tank cleaner than ever.
