Hello everyone, a few questions and I'd like to specially ask this to @Paul B since I read it in his book:
Using fish oil to complement nutrition: it consists of getting some fish oil capsules and then puncturing them with a needle to extract the oil. Then soaking pellets or flakes with it, giving a good boost to the food. My questions are more on handling side, since I have a small bioload, one capsule is enough for several feedings. So, can I use only a small amount and keep the capsule for later somehow (fridge or not necessary, upright on a ziplock, etc.) because I don't want to waste most of the oil. Or can I put the oil in a small container (like a dropper bottle) and conserve it and just use a few drops at a time? Or can I soak a larger amount of food and then keep that in a small bag and just feed that to the fish? For how many days does it keep?
One of the issues as stated in the book is that it stinks, so I want to know "best practices" so to speak.
Sorry if this is too basic, but the devil is in the details in this case.
Thanks!
