freeze dried mysis shrimp problem

[sarahlovesfish]

I just bought some freeze dried mysis shrimp. But since they have air bubbles in them, they float. What could I do when I get a automatic feeder? I won't be able to be there to squeeze them. So any methods? I thought about soaking them in ro water, and then freezing them, but if I do, I cannot put them in the automatic feeder, because they would melt. So it would be great if you have a good method about this. Answer me soon. Thanks

I would use flake & pellets instead. I never use freeze-dried foods because they float.

Sorry, my reading skills suck today.

Gelatin maybe?

Not sure how gel would work in an autofeeder.

I would put pellet foods in the automatic feeder, and feed gel foods to the fish myself
