Fish Mate FAQs
Fish feeders are automatic devices that dispense fish food into a pond on a schedule you set. They are ideal for busy families, people who work, feeding fish while away from home and ensuring your fish are fed whatever else is going on in life.
Fish mate fish feeders have a dispenser that holds dry food and a timer. Set the time(s) to suit your fish and the feeder will dispense the food on schedule. It’s as simple as that!
You should ideally look for a feeder that delivers enough food for your fish and can manage the schedule you need. If you have a large pond with lots of fish, you need a feeder that can dispense enough to keep them all satisfied. You also need a hopper large enough to dispense that food over the period you need.
You also need a reliable feeder. There’s no point trusting a poor quality feeder with the wellbeing of your fish. Fish Mate feeders are proven reliable and we use them on our own fish!
Fish Mate is a brand name for our fish feeders. Originally, we had several types of animal feeder, all with their own brand. It became difficult to manage them all independently so we created the Closer Pets brand and brought all our brands under one name.
Closer Pets includes the Pet Mate, Cat Mate, Dog Mate and Fish Mate brands. The products, features and quality are all exactly the same. Just the name has changed.

How Fish Mate pond filters work depends on the model you choose. Some use mechanical filtration to keep the pond clean. Others use biological filtration or a combination of the two. Others include UV filtration into the mix.
The filter takes in water through the inlet and passes it through one or more filters. The clean water is then released back into the pond for the fish to enjoy. It’s a refreshingly simple system that requires minimal setup and maintenance while delivering clean water for the fish.
