micro size food scoops???

[Magnum Man35 149]

curious if anyone else has the need for micro size scoops for foods??? what do you use???

in another hobby, gun cartridge reloading, Lee makes a gun powder measuring set… I never use the smallest scoops a 0.5 cc, and 0.7 cc, those sizes work well for me digging out foods from larger containers…

Use your powder measure . One crank , one feeding .

not so funny… I have extras… but they require mounting… have to start mounting powder measures by my tanks…

It would sure give your fish room a certain flair , or flare if you prefer .

More bang for the buck.

I just keep those foods in much smaller containers out of which I can still take a pinch.

I use a steak knife to pick up powdery food. I don't really like steak, and you don't want tools to go to waste...

And I have a bone handled, 1920s kitchen knife from my grandparents' house for slight bigger scoops.

My items of choice for scooping out micro food are the plastic small spoons I get at Culver’s or Dairy Queen. They’re usually blue and have about an 8” handle and a very small actual spoon. These greatly help my old goofy fingers to dip/scoop out just the amount of food (mini pellets or flakes) for a given feeding.

Here is a pic.

When I scoop up some, I can see exactly how much…..and…..if I scooped out too much, I simply tap it on the edge of the food container and it comes out gradually.

For some forgotten fish reason, I have measuring spoons in 1/8, 1/16 & 1/32 teaspoonfuls. Maybe for dry ferts but not foods?

I use salt and pepper grinders I found on amazon.

I use the Lee scoops too! Seems like every other birthday or so somebody thinks I need another set so I've got plenty.
