Local man ready to market fish-feeding invention

Forgetting to feed the fish may be a thing of the past as soon as a local inventor can find someone to manufacture his invention. If you own fish, you know it can be difficult to feed them the same amount at the same time every day. Sometimes you forget and sometimes you're out of town, but either way it isn't very good for the fish. Ray M., an owner of a local store, was going on vacation and had to have his nephew feed his fish twice a day. He knew there had to be a better way so he created an Automatic Aquarium Fish Feeder. "I would go on vacation or away for the weekend and I'd need someone to feed the fish," he said. "I started thinking of a way to feed them automatically." The feeder he came up with can feed fish up to two weeks, he said. A person just sets the timer for 12-hour intervals and places it in the back of the fish tank. He believes it is a good item to be used anywhere, especially in doctor, dentist or any other office that is closed weekends, especially three-day weekends.
