	how do you feed frozen peas???

Or not... fish will pick at the peas, but if you want to feed to a particular (top dwelling) fish, smushing them up works well. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

houston Fish Guru You want what when?

I just mash them between my fingers and drop them into the tank. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Well at least they say that for feeding humans so I am sure it applies to feeding fish human foods. That is why you are not supposed to warm a baby's bottle in the microwave. Well that and scalding mixed spots in the fluid. HTH Koi Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn.
