yeah you can but even though it probably won't hurt, it probably won't do a ton of good to soak their food in vitamin water. Most around here prefer to enhance their food by soaking the food in vitachem. You can buy it off ebay and it last a long time if you dilute it down in water and soak the food.

When I soak freezedried I alternate between vitachem and garlic.

Yes, that's where I go in my big marine tanks and I still soak food in garlic at least once aweek for the immune system boost. I noticed more vibrant colors on my softies too.
