Frozen Food

[Ardvark]

A lot of things have been said about varying the food I feed me Guppies. Of the articles I've read I'm thinking the frozen cubes of daphnia is the route I'm going to go. Questions to members if I may?
How do I feed it to them?
Do I defrost it first?
Will a whole cube be too much in one go for 14 guppies in a 2' tank?
Do I slice a bit off at a time?
As alway any tips and advice WILL be greatfully recieved.

I use a plastic cup, Put warm tank water in it and drop the cube in. It will slowly defrost and once done I pour it in, As much as I think is fine.

I think a whole cube will be too much; cut in half, or quarters. The cubes are easy to cut, if you have a large sharp knife.

I put a cube in a cup and add tank water to the cup to the tippy top.  It takes 15 min or so for the cube to defrost.  Then I just dump it in.  I too think a whole cube might be a bit too much for those few and small fish.  Probably a half a cube would be OK.  Experiment with half a cube first...if they don't eat it all quickly, then reduce the amount you feed to them the next time.
