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+!

dee34

yes they stink all right ....

CHoffman

Yup. It stinks..I despise it, but my fish love it..lol.

hahahah ive been feeding my fish frozen brine shrimp cubes for about 7 years...and I can honestly say, I never knew it smelled like "feet" until now... ive never sniffed my hands after putting the cubes in a cup I just wash them...but now im going to have to have a smell tonite

The first time I fed brine shrimp and realized how much it stunk, I made a thread about it too!

CHoffman

Didn't you leave yours in the fridge one time..lol..

Shawnie

omygoodness...I really gotta do the sniff test tonite LOL

CHoffman

You really do Shawnie..It's plum awful. I almost get sick just thinking about it..lol.

Shawnie

now im skeered ...i have a weak stomach but im curious lol

CHoffman

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)

Shawnie

yep it smells but id have never thought of it until this thread!!!!

haedra

Hehe. Glad to be of assistance! Now I bet the smell is burned into your brain!

Shawnie

yep!! and now I know why I have just washed my hands haha..but I feed mine beef heart cubes too(im all out of homeade foods )..and lemme tell ya!!!!! never mind I wont tell you

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

lol, for the brine shrimp i just defrost in a cup with tank water and pour it in. thankfully i've never actually smelled it and don't plan on it now!

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.
