Basics of frozen foods?

On a whim I got this 4 pack of assorted frozen foods and now I'm not sure how to use them. (It's San Francisco Bay brand, includes freshwater frenzy, one that's mostly greens, and 2 others).

Mainly I'm wondering how often to use these and how much to feed? "As much as fish will eat in 3 minutes" seemed to be a lot. They really chowed down.

I usually feed New Life Spectrum Thera A .5mm. I have a tiny scoop that came with other food and feed two of these scoops twice a day.

Figuring the frozen food has water in it I was shooting for about twice the volume but they are that in about 5 seconds.

I have a 29 gallon community tank, fully stocked. I cut one cube off the tray and let it thaw, figuring I can't put the whole thing in there. I sucked a little up in a pipette and squirt a little at a time into the tank.

The fish went nuts and seemed to eat it all right away. I ended up feeding half the cube. The rest is in the fridge and I feel like I need to use it today since I was "double dipping", taking the pipette from tank to cube.

I take a cup of warm fish water and put the cube in it. I let it soak for 10 mins.
I come back and i pour it through the fish net and than dump it in the fish tank.
I have a 36 gallon livebearer tank. and my fish eat it all. i do 1 cube per day.

I usually cut a cube in half, thaw it in tank water, and using a syringe with a 3ft long piece of solid airline tubing I target feed my fish. Or if I'm feeling particularly lazy just dump it in. I don't worry about straining it at all.

This is for my saltwater tank though. Fewer fish to deal with.

I have a lot of fry. They is a lot of fish in my tank. So they eat a lot.
