Feeding Frozen Foods

[sianuk]

Hi,
Whats the best way to feed frozen cubed food ,do you guys defrost it first or just chuck it in frozen and let the fish get on with it ?

thanx Ian

I always defrost mine, how would you like your sunday roast served up in an ice cube!

 

[jaycat]

I definately always defrost.

i defrost it first in a cup of tank water before pouring it in. that way, every fish gets a chance to eat some of it.

i only thaw out my krill.my other frozen foods thaw out pretty quick in the tank water.

I just chuck mine in frozen they defrost very quick, well mine do

I thaw, as i am always concerned that they might somehow affect the temperature too much, regardless of how small they may be

I put the cubes in frozen because they start to thaw straight away but if i'm feeding small amounts into smaller tanks i have to thaw into a cup and use a pipette to administer smaller amounts. I used to have up to 17 bettas at a time, each being given 3-4 worms from one cube each bless em.

I simply place the cube in a net, and then run the tap over it, eventually it melts.

I fill a cup with tap water, wait until they are mostly defrosted, then rinse with ro water.
