Interesting read thanks. I make my own food and I rinse rinse rinse. It may not help according to the experts but it makes me feel better. I'm not changing my ways.

that is very interesting. The only reason I was rinsing my food for the past year was because the place I thaw out my cubes in warm water is on the other side of the house from the tank and I always spill gross nasty fish water walking the cup across the house unless I strain it out! Now I'm rinsing so that I can feed to frozen food directly from the strainer in to the tank. I'm trying to train a fish I want to catch to not be afraid of nets!
