In the past, it was not uncommon for people to return home after a vacation to find that their precious fish did not survive their absence. Fortunately, today we have vending machines for fish food that reduce the chances of this happening to almost zero. A vending machine contains a quantity of food that it dispenses at predetermined intervals so that no matter what happens in your life, your fish are always being fed properly. Below are the 10 best fish feed vending machines on the market today.

Eheim automatic feeder

Eheim’s automatic feeding unit is very easy to use, allows you to set the time and amount of feeding and has a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty. It has a built-in fan, waterproof buttons and a handy low battery indicator light. The storage drum is transparent so you can monitor food levels and the universal installation clamp will fit almost any type of aquarium. For reliability and ease of use, you can’t beat the Eheim Everyday Feeder, which is why it is our top choice and makes a perfect Christmas gift for any home that owns an aquarium.

Fish Mate F14 Aquarium Automatic Fish Eater

The Fish Mate F14 allows you to design each meal individually and then dispense it 1-4 times a day. Some fish only need to be fed once a day, while others need more frequent meals.

No problem with the Fish Mate F14. If humidity is an issue, the F14 gives you the option of attaching a small air hose that will blow cool, dry air over the food and keep it from spoiling. This is one more reason this fish feed vending machine is on our list.

P7000 Automatic pond feeder

It is one thing to ensure that the fish in your aquarium are always well fed. It can be much more difficult to feed fish in an outdoor pond. Sure, you can walk there every day and feed them personally, but what about when you pack your bags and go on vacation? The P7000 is a fully programmable, large quantity outdoor fish feeder that allows you to set precise times and amounts of feed. It will cost you a bit of money, but it’s worth it.

With the Near Digital Automatic Fish Feeder, feeding your aquarium fish is a snap. Powered by 2 AA batteries and capable of delivering food up to 4 times a day, it is a versatile and reliable feeder that will take all the guesswork out of your relationship with your fish.

You have two different installation options (spacer or adhesive), an LCD display that lets you see what you are programming and the feeder can accommodate all types of food. Beautiful and reliable, this is our best value for money. You might also be interested in some of the best aquarium thermometers on our list, so take a look.
