Stainless Steel Veggie Clip & Cucumber Feeder for Plecos and Bottom Feeders (Suction Cup)
Stainless Steel Veggie Clip & Cucumber Feeder for Plecos and Bottom Feeders (Suction Cup)
Plecos, bristlenose and other bottom feeders need vegetables, not just algae wafers — but drop a slice of cucumber in the tank and it bobs to the surface, drifts into the filter, or sinks somewhere you can’t fish it back out. This clip fixes that.
Holds the veg where your fish can reach it
The dual-fork prongs push firmly into a slice of cucumber, courgette, blanched carrot or a piece of pumpkin and hold it steady while your fish graze. Weighted to the glass by the suction cup, it keeps the food down where plecos actually feed instead of floating off.
Suction cup and retrieval line
Press the suction cup onto the glass to place the food exactly where you want it, then use the line to lift the whole thing out cleanly when feeding time’s over — no rolled-up sleeves, no chasing soggy veg round the tank. The line spools neatly around the holder for storage.
Rust-free in fresh or salt water
It’s marine-grade stainless steel, so it won’t rust or leach in a tropical freshwater tank or a marine setup. Rinse it under the tap and it’s ready for the next feed.
Good for more than plecos
Any fish that picks at vegetables will use it — cory catfish, goldfish, guppies and mollies, plus community and marine species like clownfish and rainbowfish.
A quick tip from us
Blanch firmer veg like courgette or carrot for a minute or two so it softens; cucumber can go in raw. Take out whatever’s left after a day to keep the water clean.
