pawsplus 253 Posted April 8, 2013 Got some freeze-dried krill cuz I figured the guys would like it. But it floats! I put it in a cup of water to see if it would rehydrated, and therefore sink, and it still doesn't. What to do? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenSpoiledRotten 6,786 Posted April 8, 2013 This is why we generally do not recommend freeze dried foods. They float and hold air. Try to stick with frozen. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pawsplus 253 Posted April 8, 2013 Well darn. That stuff wasn't cheap. So it's just useless then? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoralPeachy 39 Posted April 8, 2013 Once I used freeze dried daphnia but it floated and my fish didn't even eat it! Now I use Tetra Fresh Delica bloodworms because you don't have to freeze them but they are just like the frozen kind! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted April 8, 2013 You can try to soak it tons, chop it up and add to gel food. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pawsplus 253 Posted April 8, 2013 I don't do the gel food thing. Does anyone want it? Paypal me for shipping and it's yours! I got it from Goldfish Connection (you would think they wouldn't sell stuff that isn't great for GF!). It's this (the big one): http://www.goldfishconnection.com/shop/details.php?productId=4&catId=1 Let me know if anyone wants it! I have no other critters (other than the cats LOL) who would be interested. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mernany 3,708 Posted April 8, 2013 You can try to soak it tons, chop it up and add to gel food. This is what I've been doing when I had the same thing happen to me. haha It's fun to make and it's really cheap to do as it makes a TON of food for them... like tons... haha 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
