Tired of wasted food?

Tired of fish not noticing the food you give them? Is your food just sitting there at the bottom of your tank? Get a turkey baster! You can use these to suck up uneaten flakes and bring it back up to the fish, and it helps you to precisely measure water treatments.

Usually fish food should not reach the substrate.... In my case I added some corys, so some food volountary go on the substrate so they can eat it...

My bn pleco and my rainbow shark are great bottom cleaners. The rainbow likes to get the flakes as they're coming down from the surface the most though.
