Anyone else’s fish refuse to eat mysis that’s been sitting in water for a few hours?

Idk why but if I let my mysis thaw in some saltwater for a few hours, then try to feed the fish, they spit it out and won’t eat half of it. If I just let it air thaw, they love it. Anyone else have this?

Yes I usually try to scrape it off the frozen cube with a knife let it thaw a couple minutes and add some to the tank and all my inhabitants become very active.

I always thaw a few days worth in salt water in the refrigerator, then feed my fish from that. My fish don't care they attack it and its gone in seconds

My fish eat everything i add to my tank. Literally anything falls in they try to eat it. I thaw out food for the week and pre portion it out for 6 days. All in rodi water. Then take tank water and mix it up with the food then use turkey baster to shoot into tank.

I thaw under fresh water in BBS net and feed right away, I think after being
thawed out for a few hours it starts to degrade.

I just thaw the frozen chunk in my tank, rubbing it between my fingers. All that juice and small particulate is great for your corals, and inverts.
