Clear Acrylic Aquarium Feeding Tube Set — 3 Sizes for Fish & Shrimp
Drop food exactly where you want it — no scattering, no drifting, nothing lost in the substrate.
Feed your shrimp and bottom dwellers the clean way. Pour food into the square funnel above the waterline, and it travels down this clear acrylic tube to a fixed tray at the bottom — so pellets, wafers, and frozen food land in one spot instead of scattering across the surface, drifting into your filter, or vanishing into the sand. The transparent acrylic all but disappears in the tank, and a built-in grid keeps curious fish from swimming up the tube.
Why Aquascapers Choose This Feeder
- 🎯 Food goes to one spot — lands in the bottom tray, not across your substrate or hardscape
- 🦐 Made for shrimp & bottom feeders — target-feed shrimp, corydoras, plecos, loaches, and bettas
- 🍤 Handles sinking food — perfect for sinking pellets, wafers, and thawed frozen food
- 🔍 Clear acrylic — near-invisible so it won't spoil your aquascape
- 🧱 Anti-stuck grid insert — stops fish from swimming into the tube and getting trapped
- 🪝 Two ways to mount — suction cups for any smooth glass, or a rim hook
- 📐 Multi-segment & adjustable — add or remove sections to fine-tune the height to your tank
⚠️ Mounting note: The rim hook fits tank walls up to 1.5cm thick. On thicker rims, rimless braces, or anywhere the hook won't sit, use the included suction cups on smooth glass instead.
💡 Pro tip: Cleaner substrate = cleaner water. Because uneaten food collects in the tray instead of rotting in the sand, you can scoop out leftovers in seconds. Rinse the tube every week or so to keep biofilm from clouding the acrylic.
Choose Your Size
Pick by tank depth — each size is a multi-segment tube you can shorten by removing sections. Every set shares the same 48mm square funnel mouth, 6 × 6cm bottom tray, and ~1.5 cm tube shaft, and every set includes the grid insert plus both mounting options.

|---|---|---|
| Small | 16.5cm | Nano tanks & shallow shrimp tanks |
| Medium | 27.5cm | Standard mid-depth aquariums |

Your Top 5 Questions — Answered
1. What is a feeding tube actually for?
= It delivers food to one exact spot in your tank. You pour food into the funnel above the water, and it drops down to the tray at the bottom — so it doesn't scatter across the surface, drift into the filter, or sink into the substrate where shrimp and bottom feeders can't reach it before it fouls.
2. Is it good for shrimp?
= Yes — it's ideal for shrimp. Food settles in the tray so your shrimp can graze in one place instead of chasing scattered pellets, and leftovers are easy to remove before they break down. It works just as well for corydoras, plecos, loaches, and bettas.
3. How do I attach it to my tank?
= Two ways, both included. The rim hook slots over the tank edge (for walls up to 1.5cm thick), or the suction cups stick to any smooth glass panel — handy for thicker rims, braced tanks, or mounting in a specific corner.
4. Will small fish swim up inside and get stuck?
= No — that's what the grid insert is for. It sits in the tube and blocks fish from swimming up while still letting food fall through to the tray.
5. Which size should I choose?
= Match it to your tank's depth: Small (16.5cm) for nano and shallow shrimp tanks, Medium (27.5cm) for standard aquariums, and Big (39cm) for tall or deep display tanks. Each one is multi-segment, so you can remove sections to shorten it if needed.
