Stock a Pond Fish Feeder
Food is the unswayable truth of life. As the food is important for human existence it is also important for your pets as well. There are mainly two types of feedings for fish stock mechanical and hand feeding. Let us see what the difference between the two is.
- Hand feeding - Hand feeding is one of the most common form of feeding. It is advantageous because of many factors like in hand feeding one can constantly keep a check on the feeding behavior of the stock. This helps you to feed the stock depending on the stock’s behavior. This helps you in deciding the right feed for the stock.
- Mechanical feeding - Mechanical feeding is one of the cheaper methods to feed the stock. It requires less labour unlike hand feeding. So it saves on the money paid to a large number of people. There are two types of mechanical feeders, Demand feeders and Pneumatic feeders.
- Demand feeders – Demand feeders are started by stock behaviour. In a few cases demand feeders are a reason to cause difference in fish stock sizes. It is believed that the smaller fish are refrained by larger fish from feeding. In case of demand feeders you should check regularly for uneaten feed. This stops pest infestation. These feeders are very useful in feeding the stock they can be a good choice depending on your demand.
- Pneumatic feeders - These mechanical feeders are slightly different from demand feeders. They use air pressure in delivering stock. If you feed frequently do not use pneumatic feeding because it takes long time to build air pressure between feeds. But when considering its advantages it is very reliable feeder and does not break down very often. There are also other types of feeders such as belt feeder and time feeders.
Now that you have read about the two types of options to feed the stock. You can make a choice and choose the feeder which suits your requirements.
