This project introduces an IoT-based Aquarium Fish Feeder designed to enhance ornamental Oscar fish care through features like Fish Monitoring, a programmable Timer for food dispensing, a Water Acidity Sensor, and a Fish compatibility web application’ button. The associated "Aquafeed" web application, created using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Firebase, streamlines control via web-based platforms. The camera improves the monitoring of both the aquarium environment and the fish by delivering clear visuals and an accurate range of the pH value for water acidity levels and successful web application (Aquafeed) functionalities. Overall evaluation indicates outstanding performance, with a mean of 4.71, describing highly acceptable functionality, workability, durability, economy, and aesthetics. The prototype effectively meets design goals, providing aquarium owners with a cost-effective, user-friendly solution. The automatic fish feeders are significant, as they lack in-depth exploration of ornamental fish species' unique requirements and behaviors. The integration of a water acidity sensor is often overlooked in existing research. Additionally, there is a lack of specific quantity control in the dispensing mechanism of automatic fish feeders. Current studies focus on overall feeder functionalities, neglecting the precision and customization needed for ornamental fish diets. The lack of research on determining and controlling the specific quantity of pellets or food dispensed hinders the development of a more effective feeding system.
