Best fish owner ever. This is the only fish-keeper who seasons his fish's food. 😂

When I first got my mahachai betta he was just a baby and only ate frozen food. I learnt a couple of things over the few months he only ate frozen (now he takes flakes, still working on pellets).

1. Oftentimes, especially for little fish like bettas, defrosting a full frozen cube is a waste. I always take the cube out of the freezer, cut it into a couple of small pieces and put it into a container. Most frozen foods are easy to cut, but worms are hard. Bloodworms were the most difficult to evenly cut.

2. I like to keep the cubes I cut in a plastic divider container. It has worked the best so far

3. Feeding mostly frozen food is perfectly fine, as long as there is variety! I made sure to offer tubifex worms, brine shrimp, baby brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, bloodworms, and cyclops. Brine shrimp were the fish's favourite, then bloodworms, then mysis shrimp, then baby brine shrimp, tubifex worms, and lastly cyclops.

4. As you mentioned, some frozen food can cause bloating. The best way to make sure the food doesn't cause bloat is to check the protein level. Food high in protein is more likely to cause bloating.

5. If you're planning on feeding frozen regularly, make sure to know what is more/less healthy. Baby brine shrimp, cyclops and daphnia are super healthy. Bloodworms, mysis shrimp, tubifex worms come second and adult brine shrimp should be fed as a treat

Hopefully this is a bit helpful, sorry for the huge paragraph!

Wow...thanks a ton ... This helps a lot ...

I just recently started keeping african dwarf frogs and panda corys and I've been avoiding frozen food bc I wasn't sure how it worked. This was very easy to follow and I can finally try the mysis shrimp. Thanks! 😊

Great and useful and big THANKS from India.

I am a new subscriber and this video is really good! I cut the frozen cubes into small pieces and feed them but your methods are also good for people who keep many fish and aquariums.Keep up the great work 😁

What are your thoughts on thawing and keeping the thawed food in the refrigerator for a few days? I do this with daphnia and cyclops they keep for about 4 or 5 days before the smell goes off, I'm just wondering if you would encourage or discourage this method?

Good video man, I only tried bloodworms recently but my population is very small so I quickly figured I can barely give 1/4th of the cube each time or they remain in the tank. I personally am really not worried about spoiling because my tank has constant stupid addictions on my part, keeping a very high population of nitrifying bacteria alive at all times. But I am considering to get live grindal worms started because some guy that has done this for years said you can pump up any specific nutrients into them to target specific fish needs, unlike microworms and white worms that are also more picky with temps. Any thoughts on that? Keep up the great videos 👍

I agree that frozen foods are a really great addition to our fishes diet. I like to get frozen foods that come in individually sealed cups. For me it is easier to handle and usually no more expensive. But the foil sealed like you showed are great too. I use a type of coral feeder that is very long to get thawed frozen food down to the bottom of the tank. Very often my other fish will eat the whole cube before it gets to the bottom. That way I can be sure my Kuhli Loaches get their full share of the food. I enjoyed the video.

Hello! May I ask what is your accent? I genuinely love it. Feel free to ignore my question if you dont want to answer! It is a genuine compliment 💛

[reeceanderson]

What substrate is in the tank? Link please?

[heaven]

I feed frozen to my fish as well as some other things...they really love the frozen for sure! Do you think the frozen might leave residue or particles in the tank that might cause some kinds of algae? My fish do eat all what I feed as I feed them with tweezers and target feed them but I'm sure some of it falls to the bottom...

I saw one youtuber put variety of different frozen foods in same squeeze bottle. Left overs he put back in fridge while unopen ones in freezer. What's your opinion on that?

[jordanteo]

Really informative video! But what do you do with the remaining food in the food dish when its not used, do you freeze it again?

[izzo]

I had a question, my frozen brine shrimp cubes were in my freezer and the freezer messed up, will they still be good to give my fish they stayed cold but just thawed

[blake]

What if you let the cubes defrost enough to cut them into correct portion sizes, and then froze them again? Could possibly do a whole bunch at once and have some easy way to feed
