Frozen Food (not quite thawed) xpost

[robbytt]

Well - I'm a lazy college student and on occassion I have fed my trigger tank frozen krill, literaly. I didn't have time for it to thaw but still wanted to feed my tank to promote harmony.
Is this bad for the fish or eel? They don't seem to mind and pick at the food as soon as it goes in. Of course, eventually it thaws inside the tank and then they eat the rest but...It doesn't change the temp of my tank at all and its a 30g -- if that might be a concern. What's the deal? (I came up empty on search)

Not to worry, the food thaws fast and it will not chill your tank (unless it is a 5 pound frozen block.)

Any harm to the fish to eat still-frozen food?

no harm at all. it should thaw quickly in your tank. i have a trigger and feed him frozen krill all the time. he is very healthy.
