Thaw frozen food before feeding

[Jag586]

Up till an hour ago I used to just drop the frozen food in my fish would take some time eating but I just let it thaw in some water and the fish ate it so much better this isn't really a question on what's best or anything more of just a poll so what do you do?

i used to but too much goes to waste into the filter. now, i just toss a cube in there and my big guy eats it right up. ive been doing it for a while now and havent seen any harm come from it.

For krill, I always scoop some tank water into a cup and float it until its thawed and sinks. For blood worms and beef heart, I usually just chop the cubes up and toss it in for my bigger guys; when I'm feeding smaller fish (tetras, barbs, etc) I float it as well and dump it in.

...not sure if thats the right way, just the way I do it.

I thaw. My fish won't eat frozen food...he spits it back out.

I thought I read somewhere it is bad for fish to eat frozen foods frozen.

Cubes and very small fish, I've always thrown in frozen.
Larger whole fish, I thaw at least almost completely.
