Re: feeding frozen paste food

["Wright Huntley" <wrighthuntley at hotmail_com>]

Mine has enough gelatin/egg binder that it holds together fairly well in 
water. I use a regular cheese grater to scrape a lot of little worm-like 
strips into a plastic highball glass of water. I can then go around to the 
tanks and feed the shreds with a mini-baster.

One can selectively get the fines for smaller fish and larger strips for the 
bigger ones, that way, too.
