I use clear plastic clips I buy at aquarium store. 2 in pkg for under $4.00. They have suction cups on them , but can be removed.

get a fully plastic clothes peg with no metal hinge

Drill a hole in the end of the peg

push half of a air hose joiner through the hole in the peg that you've drilled, should be tight though (may help to heat in boiling water or just cut 1 side putting a small slit in it thats what i did)

add a suction cup on other end of air hose connector

place food in peg

suction cup peg to side bottom of tank works for me beautifully

this only took five minutes to make, wife has not seen what i've done with her clothes pegs yet

will try to send photos step by step procedure

I haven't used a fork :->..... I've used a spoon, But I didn't use a fork cause I read it pokes the plecs mouth. Is this true? If not I'll try a fork probably will hold better....
Agree would be concerned that the plec would injure themselves esp my mad Royal who bats his food around the tank with his tail ,so use a teaspoon works a treat
