How do I get freeze dried krill to sink?

[asm129]

I bought some freeze dried krill for my thinbar datnoid. I soaked it like the instructions said to on the can, but even a couple days later, the krill that I soaked are still floating.

What else can I do to make them sink?

You don't. They won't sink period in my experience. Just get frozen instead as it will sink once thawed.

Soak FD krill for a few minutes then, press them against the water bowl (under the water line) to expel the trapped air.

I tried this last night. I pressed them against the side of the bowl and they sank right away. Thanks Oddball.

The only time time I can recall FD krill sinking is after it has been floating for a few hours,long after the fish have any interest in eating it.I will have to give Oddball's method a try though.
