Soaking food?

[Sophie"s mom]

Hey all! So I have read a lot from others about soaking your fish food. Questions are what do you soak it in? Why? Also can/should I soak flake food as well? I generally feed different varieties of frozen in the evening, and different varieties of flake in the morning. I am always looking for ways to boost/ protect my tank inhabitants, so any and all advice please.

I soak mine in tank water. The point being to get it all to waterlogged so it sinks in the tank. Food that floats gets sucked into the weir and caught in the filter sock. Also it allows for frozen food to thaw.

Exact same as above, for the exact same reasons, except that I use rodi water

 

[Gumbies R Us]

I do the same thing to that way it will thaw out and sink to the bottom for my fish

Defrost Mysis, put into a small container and add Selcon. Put in fridge and let it soak in that. Use throughout the week.

Frozen Mysis in a small container with tank water then I add in 4ml of Red Sea Reef Energy AB plus. Give a good mix, feed a little the refreeze the rest.

I soak my pellets in Selcon, Vitachem, and garlic extract. I don’t soak my frozen food though
