Store Bought Food

[fishlover500]

Is it a good idea to presoak store bought foods? (flakes, pellets, tablets, etc.)
If so for how long?

I have never really done this but have heard of it.
I have never really had any problems but, seeing
what others recommend

Hi fishlover500

I wouldn't presoak those foods because it might wash some valuable nutrients out of them. Some freeze dried foods like tubifex worms, etc. would be best to get thoroughly saturated with water before feeding to prevent the fish from becoming constipated.
