Since being home I have nothing but time to do things. I bought a mandarin a few weeks ago and he is doing fine eating the pods in my tank but I wanted to give him something else to eat so I figured I would attempt Paul B’s feeder. Using 1/4” sprinkler barbed fittings and 1/4” Pex tubing I picked up at Home Depot I gave it a shot. I was able to secure it in place using a wooden strip on back of tank that closes a gap to keep fish in. What’s good about this pvc is my Julian’s Thing feeder fits into the pvc perfectly to get the food into the dish. Here’s a few pics. Now I hope my mandarin finds this and uses it.

Very cool, i need to try this. Green mandarin has always been the top fish on my list but ive had 5 now and none lasted over a month. Are you going to feed mysis with that device or what?
