Robb in Austin Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Has anyone seen a long turkey baster, ala the Sea Squirt feeeding tool but not purpose made for fish such that it costs $20-30?? I've searched the restaurant supply places on line with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Robb...petco. It'll be with the undergravel filter stuff. Really is just a rigid plastic stick that is hollow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dapettit Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 If it has a long pointy end to it you can also use aquarium air tubing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneb Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Note: if you get the rigid plastic 'stick' that Mark talks about, you can heat it up near the end and pull it until you get the smaller diameter you want. wayneb PS - trick from my old model railroading scratch-building days.

Robb in Austin Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 I stopped at one and the 'stick' they had looked too small(inner diameter) to be useful. Looked like a mysis shrimp would clog it up. May have to check at others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
