Some members do not like using Freeze Dried foods. One reason as it can/will swell up as soon as it is eaten.

This can be changed by soaking it first.

I would prefer Frozen at all times as it is a lot easer to use and I think it is a better quality food.

I will never use live bought food as you never know what is in the water or what they have been fed with. This can bring many unnecessary nasties into your tank.

Thanks, my only issue is the frozen is smelly and difficult to work with at times. So I thought that I could use freeze dried and save myself some hassel.

I think that frozen is better than freeze dried & live are the best.
