I bought some krill for my fish, but they all have small mouths. I need to mince it really really small...and right now I'm using razor blades because all our knives are too dull, but it's still difficult to get it small enough. Is there a better way to do it?

Food processor should work ok. My fish can rip apart bigger pieces so you could always try a larger piece and see how they do .

You could get a small food processer from walmart for about $10 and that should work

You can put a krill on a veggie clip and let them tear pieces off. In the future, get mysis shrimp.

Sounds like an idea...

They won't even go after something they can't swallow right away. I've tried. XP I have mysis, but I wanted a little extra variety.

Copy. My little guys tear into stuff. Just another example of fish personality.

Food processor would probably be best net then. Mince up a bunch at once and Refreeze it for easy use later. You can add in your supplements and combine stuff like reef nutrition that way. A buddy on mine makes his own fish food like that and pours it into little trays to make easy to use cubes.
