Frozen Fish Food.

Hi All.

I'm probably going to sound like an idiot here. (Nothing new then!). 

I've just bought some frozen fish food for the first time and it doesn't come with instructions. How do I feed it to my fish? I googled it and some say just "bung it in" frozen and others say defrost it first. Now I don't know what to do.

What do you lot do?

Many thanks in advance. 
Ian.

Thanks dbaggie.

That sounds like a good idea. I have four tanks, so splitting the cube (or maybe two cubes) between them seems a good plan. 

Bear in mind that the cubes contain a lot more than you'd think. The first time, I'd be inclined to cut one in half. If there's not enough then defrost a bit more.


It's when there are fish in the tank capable of swallowing a cube whole that it is a very good idea to defrost first - so that all the fish get some and that the greedy fish doesn't end up with a lump of ice inside it. For smaller fish, they will pick the defrosted bits off the outside. If like me you want to split half a cube between several tanks, defrosting first is essential.
