My filter has a knob to adjust the flow rate so that food doesn't get sucked
in as much during feeding.

Got a problem that could just be due to my stupidity ...

Whenever I feed my fish with food that basically floats or stays close
to the top, some of the food eventually gets sucked into my hang-on
filter intake before the fish have a chance to grab it.

I was thinking of putting a net or something around the intake, but then
the food would just get caught on that. Any other clever ideas?

You should shut off the filter during feeding which should only last about
5 minutes anyway.
