I am constantly amazed by all the different modifications to feeders people have come up with to feed their fish. So the safe answer would be, with enough ingenuity (and a vacuum to clean up the ideas that don't work) one could probably use any type of feeder they had.

In our R&D facility we use some belt feeders and vibratory feeders for the smallest stuff. I have limited experience with drop feeders, but I would imagine humidity will definitely be problematic with feed that small.

I wish I had a clear answer for you, but it's just very small and very sticky stuff!


One question for Optimalfishfood, I believe on your website it says that Optimal #4 is a slow sinking feed. In my experience with it, it has remained afloat for a significant amount of time. I'm one of the unusual pondmeisters that wants sinking feed and would like to progress to your largest size of sinking pellet. What size is that presently? Or did I just get a batch of #4 that normally sinks, but didn't in this case?
