previously i thought one should, now I couldn't care less.

coco if you hold it in your fingers in the water it will thaw and you fish will come and eat it from your fingers , they will get to know you better

or u could realy **** them off by sitting the food on the glass lid and watch them try and get it lol.(evil laugh)
But the best way iv found is to hold in with ya fingers and let them nibble on it, its not so bad with discus but wen u got large cichlids and u try to do that they bit ya fingers.

I find its too messy if you let it thaw and sink to the bott0m. I just throw mine in the tank and the fish seem to love nibbling bits of it. If it is a good quality frozen food it should stay frozen long enough for the fish to eat most of it whilst its floating.

i do the same as mcloughlin2 said.
i never saw any problems with that

The frozen blocks I feed mine on are small enough (about 15X15X15mm cubes) to thaw out pretty quick in the warm water of the tank. They all scoff it down like they have never seen food before! Greedy sods!

My fish will only eat the frozen cube, they go for it like they have never eaten.... if I thaw it out they just are not that bothered

So I would say feed the fish frozen food, I have been doing it now for 18 months and the fish are fine and still love the frozen block

I agree with all the above. Mine love it frozen!
