FAQs

What types of fish is the Vitalis Tropical Grazer Mini suitable for?

It is suitable for a wide range of tropical freshwater species including large characins and tetras, large barbs, gobies, livebearers, rainbows, snakeheads, and puffers.

How does the suction fixing work?

The suction fixing attaches the grazing ring securely to the inside of the aquarium glass, keeping it in place during feeding.

Can this be used in saltwater aquariums?

How much food should I put in the grazer?

Start with a small amount that your fish can consume within a few minutes. Adjust the quantity based on your fish's consumption and to avoid waste.

How do I clean the grazing ring?

Rinse the grazing ring with aquarium water. Avoid using soaps or detergents, as these can be harmful to aquatic life.

Troubleshooting

Suction cup not holding

Clean the aquarium glass and the suction cup thoroughly. Ensure there are no air bubbles trapped underneath. For older suction cups, consider replacing them.

Fish not using the grazer

Ensure the grazer is placed in an accessible location for your fish species. It may take a few days for fish to acclimate to the new feeding method. Start with a smaller amount of food.

Excessive food waste

Reduce the amount of food placed in the grazer. Ensure the food is appropriate for the size of your fish. Clean the grazer after feeding if necessary.
