Default Auto Feeder For Arowana/Carnivores Pellet

Hi Guys, I do not know where i can post this topic, so decided to post it here.
Just wondering is there any Auto-Feeder that the hole is big enough to dispense Hikari Pellet because I'm traveling for oversea very soon.

Bro, how big is your current aro

and what is the duration of your trip overseas.

Mature aros can tahan without feeding for a one week or so.

Many bros have no problem.

3x Arowana (approx 10-12"), still have other fishes inside the tank, worried after few days of hunger, they will cannibalize each other thus required a auto feeder.

Will be going for holiday for a week.

my suggestion: big wc one day before trip.

no feeding thereafter.

Keeping bioloading to the minimal during your absence.

Upon your return perform wc.

agree on no feeding.. so many things can go wrong with auto feeding.. e.g. dispense too much... or . pellets left uneaten.. etc

Feed them more than usual a week before. Then day before departure do massive WC. No problem no feed till you return one week later.

If you don't have habit of large volume WC, then do 2x normal WC the week before holiday.
