Method and Apparatus for Providing Seaweed Food in an Aquarium

A method for feeding seaweed to aquarium fish, comprising:

• cutting or folding seaweed into a substantially rectangular seaweed sheet having substantially straight edges;
• opening an aquarium seaweed feeder comprising:
• a base including a flat horizontal base flange;
• a generally rectangular protruding platform including a flat face residing parallel with the base flange;
• a base wall forming a substantially rectangular closed perimeter reaching from the base flange perpendicular to the base flange and connects the flat face to the base flange;
• a windowed lid hingedly attached to the base and including a flat lid flange;
• a recessed seaweed holding windowed area including a flat windowed area parallel with the flat lid flange including windows;
• and
• a lid wall forming a second closed generally rectangular perimeter reaching from the lid flange to the flat windowed area;
• and
• the windowed lid rotatable to position the recessed seaweed holding windowed area of the windowed lid over the rectangular protruding platform of the base creating a gap to contain the substantially rectangular seaweed sheet.
• positioning the rectangular seaweed sheet over a platform projecting out from a base of the aquarium seaweed feeder;
• closing a windowed lid over the rectangular seaweed sheets and over the platform so that no edge of the seaweed is exposed through the windows in the windowed lid when the windowed lid is closed over the platform;
• the lid wall residing in intimate contact parallel with the base wall when the windowed lid is closed over the base;
• retaining the windows lid on the base by static friction between the lid wall and the base wall provide an interference fit;
• and
• placing the aquarium seaweed feeder in an aquarium.
