Hi everyone! I was feeding my fish frozen food in the past as a component of their diet, but eventually stopped due to irritation over having to thaw the frozen food frequently. How can I reduce the frequency of thawing the frozen food before feeding it to the fish? I have come up with at least one idea;
Idea; Thaw a sizeable amount of frozen food in distilled water, then mix it with glycerol and place that mixture in the freezer in a bottle (glycerol is non-toxic to virtually everything except in very large quantities and reduces water's freezing point - for a 50% mixture with water, to -7 fahrenheit. I may be able to get away with less glycerol depending on how cold my freezer is...)
Thanks
