Questions & Answers

11 Customer Questions


Is this product ok for a single fish. Or will it dispense too much food.

Answer by ChewyNov 18, 2019
This product is suitable for use with a single betta fish. It dispenses 2-4 pellets per day.

I’ve read that Betta fish need a lid on their tank due to them being jumping fish. Does this feeder work with a lid on the tank or does it need to be an open tank?

Answer by ChewyJan 09, 2020
This automatic feeder requires an opening at the top of the tank for use.

What food is in this feeder so I can buy it when the feeder gets empty?

Answer by ChewySep 01, 2019
It is recommended to use Zoo Med's Micro Floating Betta Pellets with this feeder.

Which times does it feed the fish?

Answer by ChewyJun 15, 2022
The Betta feeder dispenses food once every 24 hours. You cannot set it for 12 hours, it just manually rotates.

Works well but not as timely as I would have liked

I don't feed my Beta Fish every day but this feeder is slower than I would like. Works in a pinch for when I go away

No, just no!.

With the tiny parts, it took forever to get together and then it didn't work. I think it is a very poor design, and I will be buying an electronic one. Don't waste

With the tiny parts, it took forever to get together and then it didn't work. I think it is a very poor design, and I will be buying an electronic one. Don't waste your money on this, just go ahead and spend the $40 or more for a good product!

useless / terrible quality

Cheap, useless and can't be set to feed at a scheduled time as advertised because it has no timer. I am surprised Chewy sells this item.

I purchased this item for my Betta fish. This item does not work what so ever. I tested it over a day to see if it would drop food on its own, and it failed. It only worked when you moved it manually. The company who makes this, and Chewy should be embarrassed by the product that they sell.
