Quick and Easy Fresh Veggie Feeder for Your Fish

CIMG0190.jpg
This instructible will show you how to make a fresh veggie holder for your fish aquarium.  A lot of veggies I have tried still tend to float around, which makes it hard for the fish that eat veggies to catch. 

Tools

One simple tool needed, needle nose type pliers.

Materials

1 Suction cup
1 paper clip

I recycled these suction cups from out of my junk box.  Cant remember where I got them but Im sure hobby lobby or other craft stores may have them, Wal-mart might as well.

Straighten Paper Clip

Straighten the paper clip and make a small loop in the end of it.

Wrap

Wrap the looped end of the paper clip around the suction cup a couple of times and snug up around the cup.

Bend

Make a u bend in the clip and cut short  so that the end of the wire doesn't poke any fish trying to nibble of the veggies.

Thread Veggies

Thread the veggie you want to feed onto the paper clip.  I usually blanch the veggie for about 30 sec in the microwave before feeding, it softens the veggie.

Attach

Attach the suction cup to the side of the aquarium at what ever level your fish usually swim at.
