I'm looking up different automatic vacation feeders for when I am on my week break. I've been told that fish can go that long without food but I have a lot of little fish that I don't want to starve.

So, what are some vaca feeders that you like?

So far I've found one with decent reviews at Petco and is on sale
-Penn Plax Daily-Double II Automatic Fish Feeder

Theres the link. Does anybody else have any other preferences over this one? Does this feeder seem like a good one?

Please and Thank you very much in advance for posting. I love it when people post!!! haha

I have an eheim feeder it works well. Has a good reputation and reviews, that helped me decide which feeder to go with. Has a fairly large area to hold food, also has a fan to keep the moisture in control, so flake doesn't clog up.

Whatever feeder you decide to get, make sure you use a fresh set of batteries, and then test it out for a week or two to make sure it works well. In case of power failure you might want to get an air pump that is battery operated, it plugs into the outlet as well. [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

Thank you very much for your help. I had seen that one and it seems like people like it well. I'll probably go with that and get the batery air pump for trips/safety. Thank you for your help!
