Just wondering if anyone knows if these pellets are cooked, or contain cooked ingredients? or go through a heat process? if so, how do you know?
The reason I ask is because thiaminase found in shrimp and herring is destroyed by heat. Omega One contains whole shrimp but does not have Vitamin B1 in the ingredients, while Massivore and NLS do. My bichirs seem to like Omega One better than Massivore and NLS however.
For those who don't know about thiaminase, it causes vitamin B1 deficiency and is called in human form, "beriberi".
