Better Distribution for the smaller guys, unless you have 6 dovii killin for it!

Thawing always spreads it out better!

JMHO-

i'd say thaw it because there is always the one pig who gobbles most of it up

I usually leave mine frozen.. Or at least Partially.. My Peas and O seem to swallow more of it that way Especially now that I have implimented Mysis.. But I leave the brine frozen.. I do thaw out the market shrimp but that cause of the Ewurm statement BrainFreeze!!

You do not thaw the Mysis?? Much bigger than brine, Spreads out nicely. But will leave the shrimp oil on top, Thank god for my Surface Skimmers!! Just wonderin'

For smaller fish I thaw.

My Jag won't bother with individual brine or bloodworms. I break off chunks and throw them in frozen. He eats the frozen chunks whole. Whether or not he gets brainfreeze I don't know but he sure eats these treats with enthusiasm.

You gave me a differant perspective. I will thaw & leave frozen. When I orignally started to thaw it was in response to my Oscar eating everything he could and the smaller guys had no chance......

Good Ideas/Explantions!
