Frozen brine shrimp

It stinks. Is it supposed to smell like feet? Or am I hallucinating...

Every time I pop out a cube, my hands reek for hours. I dislike it even worse than the smell of Amquel+!

ROFL...That is hilarious.lol..I'm always scared too. But for some reason I can't help but take a sniff before I feed them..lol....I put the cubes in a small bowl with tank water to let it defrost..and for some reason it's really awful then..Frozen isn't terrible..It's still bad but when it's thawed it's REALLY BAD.

I try not to touch my frozen food with my hands. Usually I don't go out of my way to not touch gross things, but yuck! (I defrost in a cup and use a plastic fork to feed haha)

I thaw mine in a small amount of used tank water, then pour them into a small shrimp net and blot with a paper towel. They don't smell as bad if you blot them

This is too funny. I guess I'm just a hands on woman. I love to feed the cubes by hand, except of course when it comes to the Sevrums, OUCH! Those guys seem to know when I'm not looking cause the minute I turn my head, NIP! Scares the heck outta me.
