What is better than sitting in front of your tank at night with the moonlight on and a glass of Grand Marnier?

sitting in front of several tanks moonlit with a heineken!!

If mine were only filled with zebs, that would be nice.

Make mine a double Jack Daniels. Oh, dont forget to feed the zebras first... You may actually see them out. Sneeky little monkeys.

I made a dish to put the food in at night. Now they know at lights out its dinner by moonlight.

lol.. very nice... i need some moonlight in my zebs tank to see them... i got for a few months now and never see them..

When I get mine (zebs) I'll do the same. They know it's mealtime and just chow. My gobies actually sit on top of the plecos and wait to jump in to get a bite. He's the little guy on the right.

Rhino,

It is a very good idea of having a feeding dish for them. So they'll know exactly where the food is going to be all the time. If you don't mind, can i use your idea.

Do you have any problem of food spilling out of the dish? Or water current pushing the food out of the dish?

Hey, that’s what we are here for. Help each other out and share ideas. The food stays in the dish even with strong current. I use a ½ in. clear plastic tube about 24 inches long and place one end into the dish. I just drop the pellets in and they slide down into the dish. As you can see, an algae wafer is next to the dish after being dropped in. I use the tube to scoot it into the dish. It’s funny to watch them all eat together.

Thanks, I'll try that this weekend when I have some free time to make a dish.
