It's generally recommended to change the water in feeders every 2 to 3 days, especially in warmer weather, to prevent the growth of bacteria and algae. If the water appears dirty or cloudy, it should be changed immediately. Regular maintenance ensures a clean source of hydration for birds and helps attract more visitors to your feeder.
Filter feeders are called filter feeders so they suck in water and eat the tiny plankton in the oceanwith there tiny filter hairs.

Like all filter feeders, vertebrate filter feeders obtain food by filtering suspended food particles from water. The vertebrate filter feeders include various fish, flamingos, and baleen whales. Baleen whales use the baleen plates in their mouths to filter food, such as plankton and fish, from water.
Change your ferrets water at least once daily
Bottom feeders like snails or shrimp can live in a glass bowl, but they require proper care and maintenance to thrive. Ensure the bowl is large enough, has a filtration system, and that you provide suitable food for the bottom feeders to eat. Regular water changes are also essential to maintain water quality.
There are several types of plant feeders. The basic plant feeders, such as the Hippohop, simply release water at a constant rate. Other plant feeders calculate how much water is in the soil and release water at a rate to maintain the balance.
Filter feeder get their food by straining (filtering) it from water, most often sea water. Examples of filter feeders are: sponges, clams, oysters, barnacles, basking sharks, whale sharks...
Anchovies are mid-water feeders.
Filter feeders in the ocean eat tiny particles like plankton, algae, and small bacteria. They use specialized structures like gills, tentacles, or baleen to filter these particles from the water and extract nutrients. Examples of filter feeders include baleen whales, barnacles, and mussels.
There are 7 types of feeders, some of which include herbivores, fluid feeders, substrate feeders, and suspension feeders. Others include omnivores, carnivores, and bulk feeders. Most animals are bulk feeders.
