Steve, If you have the right size cubes you can just drop it in. There was even a video that Eddie had showing that.

bb.. i put it in my worm feeding.. to thaw.. then i mush up with my fingers for the juvies (if i don't, they have a tough time eating it).. with the young adults i don't have to do that.. so i guess it depends on the size of your fish..

Thats a good idea that way they dont waste time chewing it and spitting it out then chewing the right sized pieces! Thanks for both your replys

I hold the food for my spoiled fish until I get tired of the game...

That's dedication to the hobby!

I feed the entire contents of a small zip lock so I just let it sit out for about 15 min to soften up then I can either cut it easily into right sized pieces w/a knife or just break off chunks and drop em in.

I do pretty much the same thing. I have to let mine thaw some so it will sink because of my overflow box.

Whoa... in one feeding you use an entire ziplock bag? What size? Just curious...

A sandwich bag lasts me the week... Obviously I have fewer discus.

I throw mine in and let the warm water thaw it out and as it does I let them attack it.
