I have a goonch and tigrinus that will only eat if food is dropped right in front of them. Do you have recommendations for a tool (i was thinking a metal pole with a clamp of the end or something) that i can use to reach the bottom with food? Thanks - Nick
 
Chop sticks is what I used for my jurunese until it grew and didn't need to be spot fed anymore. You can also try using a pair of tongs. My juru basically needed me to put the food in it's mouth so I used the chop sticks to achieve this.

Chopstick is said to work well.

Some drop food into a PVC pipe to drop it where needed.
 
I'd use hemostat type forceps. They make them pretty long, probably long enough, depending on the depth of your tank.
