DIY Feeding Station

When you have herbi fishes, you'd need to feed them veg otherwise their immune system will weaken. This is a feeding clip. Its meant to hold pieces of seaweed or fresh vegetables in the water preventing them from floating around so your herbi fishies can eat them. Cost? The last time I saw it at the fish shop was SGD$7 and that's crazy! So I decided to make one.
I made this from pieces of scrape aquarium equipment I had lying in my store. A suction place holder, cable tie, paper clip, plastic mesh.
There are of course many ways I could do this. Using a magnet instead of a suctoin place holder will be lovely because i wouldn't need to wet my hands at all putting the feeder into place. However here we have constraints on resources so we'll make do.

Bingo! There you have it! Seaweed feeder with seaweed attached and ready to go. You might be wondering why use the plastic mesh? That's because the area of 'clipping' of the paper clip is very small and hence all the pressure of the clip be on one small area of the seaweed. Changes of the seaweed breaking away when the fish bites is very much higher. The plastic mesh serves to diffuse and spread the pressure so you have a snug clip onto the seaweed.
There you go, DIY seaweed feeder in action holding a piece of seaweed inside the aquarium. How successful is it? It's too early to tell. I've chosen neutral and dark colors so it wouldn't appear to scary to the fishies. So far the fishies have yet to accept it. They all seem a little apprehensive to go close to it. They've all gone into hiding and refused all forms of feeding. Give them a couple of hours, they'd get use to it i suppose?
