FAQ - Häufig gestellte Fragen

How many days does an automatic fish feeder last, and how long can it feed the fish?

The JBL PRONOVO AUTOFOOD MULTI allows for up to six feedings a day with individually adjustable portion sizes and, with the correct settings, can feed reliably for several days or even several weeks. Thanks to its expandable food capacity with the optional 250 ml PRONOVO food tin, this automatic feeder is particularly well suited for holidays or longer periods of absence.

How long you can use an automatic fish feeder to feed aquarium fish depends on several factors. The key factors are the number of fish in the aquarium, their respective feeding requirements, the frequency of the programmed feedings, and the amount of food per serving. The more fish there are and the more frequently they are fed, the quicker the food supply will be used up.

How does an automatic fish feeder work?

During the feeding, the dry food inside the automatic feeder is transported forwards by a rotating auger. As the auger turns, the feed flap opens and the food trickles into the aquarium in a controlled manner. As soon as the auger stops, the flap closes again automatically. This ensures that the automatic feeder remains closed after each feeding, preventing moisture from entering. This reliably prevents the food from clumping or going mouldy and clearly distinguishes the JBL PRONOVO AUTOFOOD MULTI from many other systems where the feeding opening remains permanently open.

There are many different types of automatic fish feeders for aquariums, which operate on different principles depending on the model. The JBL PRONOVO AUTOFOOD MULTI uses a particularly reliable and well-designed system for automatic feeding.

How long should an automatic fish feeder remain in operation?

The JBL PRONOVO AUTOFOOD MULTI is ideally suited to both scenarios, as it can be flexibly powered either via a continuous USB-C power supply or by battery. This means the automatic fish feeder can be optimally adapted to the individual needs of the aquarium, regardless of whether it is used on a short-term or long-term basis.

If the automatic feeder is used whilst you are away on holiday, it should ideally run for the exact duration of your absence and take over the feeding entirely during that time. Alternatively, the JBL PRONOVO AUTOFOOD MULTI can also be used on a permanent basis for daily automatic feeding, for example to ensure regular, consistent feeding.

How long an automatic fish feeder should be used in an aquarium depends on how and for what purpose it is used. The JBL PRONOVO AUTOFOOD MULTI is designed for both occasional use and continuous operation.

Warum ist ein Fischfutterautomat auch im Alltag sinnvoll?

Ein Fischfutterautomat ist nicht nur praktisch, wenn man im Urlaub ist. Er kann auch dabei helfen, die Fische deutlich naturnäher und bekömmlicher zu füttern. In der freien Natur sind Fische über den Tag hinweg immer wieder auf Futtersuche und nehmen dabei viele kleine Portionen Nahrung zu sich. Eine große Fütterung nur einmal am Tag entspricht diesem natürlichen Verhalten daher nur bedingt. Auch der Verdauungstrakt der Tiere ist eher auf kleinere Futtermengen ausgelegt. Mehrere kleine Portionen über den Tag verteilt sind deshalb meist besser verträglich und kommen der natürlichen Futteraufnahme deutlich näher. Mit einem Futterautomaten lässt sich die tägliche Futtermenge einfach auf mehrere Fütterungen verteilen, ganz ohne jedes Mal von Hand füttern zu müssen.
