I have been looking for that "perfect" Target Feeding utensil....anyone care to share their ideas and practices?

I just use a turkey baster. I've also used a pipet (used in labs) but they require refills more often.

depends on what you are target feeding imo.

if you are targeting an eel, or other such fish i used a feeding wand.

but for corals and small mouthed planktivores i use a tirkey baster.

if you have very small polyps you smight be better off with a pipet, but get the biggest one possible. imo.

also if you can make the tip at the end of the turkey baster smaller you wouldnt need to use the pipete.

I use a turkey baster when I'm feeding my fish. As far as corals, i use the sea squirt. It also has a handy feeding stick that i use for my mantis

I use one of those booger sucker baby bulbs and have that attached to some rigid tubing. I can target feed all the way to the bottom of the tank without having to have my hands in the water. Let me know if anyone wants to see a picture of it.

I'd like to see a pic of it.
