Hobby Aquarium Feeding Tweezers Straight - 40cm

Hobby Aquarium Feeding Tweezers Straight - 40cm is a pair of 40cm stainless steel tweezers. They are called feeding tweezers for a reason: offering frozen bloodworm, a live insect or a bit of mussel on the end of a pair of tweezers lets you feed a specific animal a specific amount, instead of throwing food in and hoping. They double as planting tweezers.

Key Features

• Stainless Steel: rinses clean, does not rust, and will outlast anything plastic.
• 40cm Reach: the long pair, for tall tanks where 30cm leaves your knuckles in the water.
• Straight Tip: maximum control for planting and for placing food precisely.
• Feeding And Planting: targeted feeding for shy or slow fish, anemones, corals, reptiles and amphibians - and precise planting in the substrate.

Why Targeted Feeding Is Worth The Trouble

• The fish that needs the food is rarely the fastest. Tweezers let you put a piece of food in front of a slow, shy or recovering fish before the bold ones get it.
• Less waste means better water. Food that nobody eats becomes ammonia. Feeding by hand, you see exactly what is taken.
• They are the only sensible way to feed a mantis shrimp, a large anemone or a predatory fish without putting your fingers in range.
• Also for reptiles. Offering a locust by tweezers keeps your fingers away from a feeding response, and stops a lizard associating your hand with food.

Good To Know

• This listing is the 40cm pair, straight tip.
• Rinse in fresh water and dry after every use, particularly after salt water.
• Do not lever with them. Tweezers bend, and a bent pair never closes properly again.
• Keep a separate pair for reptile feeding and for the aquarium. Cross-contamination between enclosures is worth avoiding.
