Hello, just got some Krill, Mysis, and Brine shrimp from BRS, all freeze dried. I'm curious if this is best stored in the fridge, freezer, or room temperature? Also, I would love to find some freeze dried squid or calamari for my sharks. Trying to vary their diet as much as I can. Thanks for any info.
 
Anything freeze dried is fine at room temperature. What matters is moisture. Keep it dry, and also dark if possible but I don't think that matters as much.

How do you feed it? I was thinking just soaked in selcon for ~10 minutes and into the tank.

That sounds fine to me. I am not a predator fish kind of guy so I don't know what they respond to exactly.

I meant more just in general, the sharks will get their fair share for sure lol so I'm more thinking about my other fish.

Yeah overall that should be fine though. The food just needs to be rehydrated. Whether that's tank water or some supplement shouldn't matter as long as it gets a good soak.
