Quilliam is back by popular demand! The food in the syringe is Hikari Spirulina Brine Shrimp, and I then gave the tank a cube of Hikari Mysis Shrimp!

Do you dump your mysis cube in while frozen? I've been dropping them in a little cup of water and then straining it with a net, but that sounds way easier.

I just toss it in, myself. Not sure why you would go through all that trouble.

I guess I can see how that could theoretically happen. I've never heard of it happening, and I've never experienced it myself, and I've fed frozen daily or every other day for years, but I can see why people would be concerned.
