If u have a mount or shoulder pet with u u can store the element inside and just use 1 to feed. Best way is to lure the dolphin in one of these small air vents on the walls and trap it with 4 small gates. So it can't run away and u stand next to the dolphin and wait to pet and feed only a single ele. This method uses only 1/3 of the element in the description....
