An aquatic animal feeding assembly for use with aquariums, tanks, pools or the like. The feeding assembly (4) comprises an outer magnet (34) placed adjacent an outer surface of the aquarium wall (14) and an inner magnet (32) placed opposite the outer magnet on the inner surface of the aquarium wall such that the magnets attract to each other against the aquarium wall. A food holder (42, 60, 70) is attached to the inner magnet within the aquarium for releasably holding food within the aquarium. The magnets generate an attractive magnetic force sufficient to hold each other in place opposite the aquarium wall. In addition, the outer magnet may be moved along the aquarium wall to thereby move the inner magnet and the food holder to a desirable location within the aquarium.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An aquatic animal feeding assembly for use with an aquarium comprising:a first magnet having a first magnetic pole adapted for movable placement adjacent an outer surface of an outer wall of an aquarium;a second magnet having a second magnetic pole opposing the first magnetic pole and being adapted for movable placement within an aquarium adjacent an inner surface of said outer wall of an aquarium opposite the first magnetic pole;first and second casings housing the first and second magnets, respectively;a food holder attached to the second casing for releasably holding food within an aquarium;wherein the first and second magnets generate a magnetic force sufficient to hold each other in place against the outer aquarium wall;wherein the first and second casings are movable with respect to the outer wall of the aquarium, the magnets being positioned within the casings such that movement of the first casing along an outer surface of the outer wall causes a corresponding movement of the second casing along an inner surface of the outer wall; andfurther comprising a cover sheet attached to each of the casings adjacent the attraction surfaces of the magnets, the cover sheet comprising a relatively smooth material for minimizing friction between the outer wall of the aquarium and the cover sheet when the casings are moved relative to the outer wall.
