Can anyone recommend an automatic fish feeder that will dispense for a number of days?
Thanks

Eheim auto feeder is a good one, not the cheapest but very reliable and you can set it to feed from 1 to 8 times a day.

Is there any autofeeder that can dispense food underwater?

Got a lot of service flow and food quickly disappears down the weir if the fish aren't on the ball!

Thanks for the info, I need one that will feed for a few days, does it mean the Eheim will do this?

Yes, if you fill the feeder it should last about 4 weeks or so, depending how much you feed.

Easier to show a quick video and explain a bit. :)

Feeding ring made from the top of a flake food fish tub. Prevents the food being washed over the weir. Just cut the top off big enough so that it fits to the top of the brace bars and is about half an inch under the water then milliput to the brace bars.
