Is this a bad thing or its fine? My IT consume 2 frozen anchovies per day :o

Will it have unknown parasite or unknown factor when a freshwater fish consume a saltwater fish?

I heard that anchovy can build up Domoic acid, will that harm my IT? Because base on the information I got, its bad for human, sea mammals and birds, but it didnt mention about fish.
 
I almost lost a ray because of anchovies. Depending on how they are prepared they can contain HUGE amounts of salt and oil, both of which will effect your water quality.
 
My datnoids seems fine consuming only anchovies. My IT, AT, NTT, and NGT seems fine. I've had some of them for a year and they seem ok.

I know... variety is key...
 
The anchovies that I feed my fish are "fresh." IT is not pre-packaged and you basically scoop it up yourself and get it weighed.
