Frozen Brine Shrimp - Thaw first?

[Submariner]

Silly newbie question here- I just bought some frozen brine shrimp. It doesn't say on the package whether you thaw them before feeding or not- I assume you do, but how? Just leave them on the counter? Or can you put them in warm water or something?

You can put a cube in the tank frozen. Or, you can put a cube in a glass of tankwater to thaw.

If you got the sheet kind, break pieces off while frozen, and defrost them. Don't defrost the whole thing.

Great! Thanks a lot.

I just stick the cube (or the end if it's a flat) in the water and swish it around until a good amount falls off. Some of the fish will pick it right off the frozen cube.
