this was the first time I used the food processor because before this i would freeze the food and use a cheese grater to make it into small pieces but that takes super long and my fingers would burn from the cold. Yes they are perfect size for the fish i have naso tang, clownfish, little damsels, wrasses they love that food over flakes or pellets.
I did it with the processor once, its a pain...
I use these, tried the smaller cubes and its in the bah pile, found the .6 inch cubes close to what comes pre packaged from the lfs.
Anybody else like these?
Thanks
I just ordered them. I too dice some frozen for feeding my predator tanks. Try to keep them a little drier when freezing so not a hard ice cube. Also if hard floor a couple of high speed drops after frozen and they separate nicely.Anybody else like these?
Anybody else read the instructions:
"Don't touch the open flame directly or close to the heat source"
Nice thread.
I went to Walmart last week and they had shelled oysters in a 1 lb plastic bucket. There were two that were weeks out of date, and I asked the front counter if I could purchase them half price since they can't sell them. Lady told me they have to ship them back, and also they cant sell them after the use by date. I regret not shoplifting those since they went to waste, but I did walk all the way back to the fish section and get myself some fresh ones. I chopped them up Gordon Ramsey style and slide the goop into ziplock bags, pressed them flat so they were a 1/8-1/4 inch thick and froze the whole mess. I can snap off sheet-chunks and drop pieces into my thaw cup and feed the fish live frozen oysters including @Paul B's guts and giblets for ~$10.00/ lb.
Old Shrimp on closeout sale, same process. Its slow but I like to eat good too. Frozen baggies, press the chopings thin, freeze and snap. Pismo clams, bean clams, all good. I tried a wavey top shell once, almost threwup when I pulled the thing out of its shell.
Pray for the clerk who wasted 2lb of oysters.
pismo clams? i wonder if i can just harvest them since pismo is 15 min away. would they survive in a reef tank? would it be harmful to feed to my fish?Anybody else like these?

Technically you need a fishing license and can take 10, adult sized clams. I forget how to measure them and the size limit and catch may have changed again?
