I've done this before with a flat of mysis
Not a bad way, but I'm looking to have more uniform sizes so I can control daily rations

Medical place like shoppers has pill packs?.. They are small and have push through design

Options;
1) Ikea silicone ice cube trays
2) Silicone chocolate or candy moulds (ebay works)
3) PM Hobbycraft, Micheal's etc. also carry small moulds for things like trees and trains for model building. Sometimes you can find flexible containers to make rows upon rows of items.

I've used all of the above successfully for at least 5 years and counting. I currently use a whole pile of silicone chocolate trays I bought from ebay. They were like $5-6 each and make a variety of small shapes. I have ones that hold about a teaspoon all the way up to ones that hold a couple of tablespoons. Like this.

For a couple of years my fish ate their frozen food in the shapes of stars and hearts.

Good luck!

This works awesome Greg. But I peeled off the ziploc and just cut in cubes and put in a container. Had a buddy that used eggcrate and got so frustrated he ended up throwing it all out in a rage.

I tried eggcrate once too, and the same ending. The trouble is that eggcrate isn't smooth through the hole so the food snags up in it.

I just roll mine flat in ziplocks and break off a couple days' worth at a time. I put that square into the fridge in a cup, and I use a steel baby spoon (without rubber on it) to scoop bite-sized pieces. While scooping little pieces the food sticks to the spoon and when I have enough I swirl the spoon in the tank near a powerhead.

+1 - Same here... I made the last batch that wasn't chopped fine enough, I ground it in my meat grinder frozen and it's nice and easy to use as it's almost like a coarse sand and easy to break off.

So far I have only used the zip lock back rolled flat method .
next time I am going to try the ice cube trays you can get for small RV fridges.
these make a cube that is less than half regular size and should be just about perfect for my needs.
We shall see
here is what I am talking about
