Patent ID: 7059270

Claim:
An in-tank dispenser for live food comprising: a dispenser enclosure having a hook that secures the enclosure to a rim of a main tank having water therein, the enclosure having perforations along at least some portions thereof so as to allow the water from the main tank to pass through the enclosure, the perforations being sized so as to prevent the live food in the enclosure from escaping therethrough; an exit structure that narrows from an opening first size at the enclosure to an exit opening smaller second size at a point more remote from the enclosure, the second size being sufficient to allow the live food to pass therethrough and insufficient to allow a resident of the main tank that eats the live food to pass therethrough; and a movable door that movably covers the opening to selectively allow the live food to pass through the exit opening, wherein the door is adapted to pivot between an open position and a closed position within the dispenser enclosure and the closed position being in contact with the exit structure and including a handle operatively connected to the door.
