Thanks guy's!
I read a specific thawing method on the site for the company in bc.
http://www.mysis.com/
tried this method tonight, exactally as they say, but I still got the oil slick in the cup.
Oh well I will let the critters starve for a day then see what they think of the stuff on wednesday.
I have been feeding them everyday (i usually fed every 2 days)so they may be a little on the full side.
