I have a small number of RES from this years hatch in my aquarium. I have been running the Optimal through a coffee grinder then sifting the smaller pieces out through a strainer. The larger crumble pieces I am feeding will float for a little bit then slowly sink as they hydrate. I have done the same thing with Aquamax in the past and I can tell you that my RES definitely prefer the Optimal. When running it through the grinder both types of feed come out in the same random sizes and shapes.
Shorty I think my wife would frown on me putting fish food in her nice coffee maker.
Ok if I tell her Shorty said it was ok??
Seriously one fish farmer I know says he has his wife watch for old blenders at yard sales she goes to and if she can buy working ones at five bucks or so he uses them like you are the coffee grinder. He also grinds feed to feed his small fry.
