Hi everyone. I always buy dried shrimp for my flowerhorns and was wondering what's the difference between dried shrimp and dried krill. Is there a nutritional difference or are they also different in other ways? Which is better? Thanks, Ed.

I believe FD shrimp are better--I think I heard somewhere that feeding too much krill can lead to some kind of disease? Not sure. I just stick with shrimp generally.
Krill and Shrimp are different species. Krill are from the ocean and shrimp are freshwater (ghost shrimp). I've tried to feed freshwater fish krill but they are larger I find then the freeze dried shrimp and smell more like the ocean lol.
Krill are also available in jumbo size, which is good for feeding bigger fish - if you are concerned about the quality of food, then you should be feeding a variety, no matter what, anyway.
