  • Patent number: 5778824
    Abstract: An aquatic animal feeding assembly for use with aquariums, tanks, pools or the like. The feeding assembly (4) comprises an outer magnet (34) placed adjacent an outer surface of the aquarium wall (14) and an inner magnet (32) placed opposite the outer magnet on the inner surface of the aquarium wall such that the magnets attract to each other against the aquarium wall. A food holder (42, 60, 70) is attached to the inner magnet within the aquarium for releasably holding food within the aquarium. The magnets generate an attractive magnetic force sufficient to hold each other in place opposite the aquarium wall. In addition, the outer magnet may be moved along the aquarium wall to thereby move the inner magnet and the food holder to a desirable location within the aquarium.
