Ocean Nutrition Feeding Prong

The Ocean Nutrition Feeding Prong is a clear acrylic tool for close-up feeding of lionfish, groupers, oscars and other predators. Skewer a piece of lancefish or krill on the nearly invisible prong and use a wiggling motion to trigger a natural feeding response.

Key features of the Ocean Nutrition Feeding Prong

• Clear acrylic prong
• For target feeding predators
• Triggers feeding response
• Keeps hands out of the tank

Target feeding safely

The prong keeps your fingers away from predators, which matters with venomous species such as lionfish and stonefish, whose spines can cause painful stings, and with large cichlids that bite. Use thawed frozen foods such as lancefish or krill, cut to a size the fish can swallow, and present them at the same spot in the tank so the fish learns where to expect food. Target feeding also lets you make sure shy or slow fish get their share. Remove anything uneaten after a few minutes, and wash the prong in tank water rather than detergent between uses.

Good to know

Rinse the prong after each use, and feed predators regularly at the same spot to build a routine.
