Are shrimp ok for Dovii??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I threw in some raw shrimp into my Dovii tank the other night and my Dovii attacked it,he is 4 inches and ate over half of a large shrimp,is this ok or am i harming my prized Dovii?? :drool:

Just make sure you're not buying your shrimp cocktails out of the trunk of a car. . . Trunk Tamales = Good. . . Trunk Sushi = Bad.:eek:
 
never fed shrimp, but in my tank (fish in sig. all juvies) i use VARIETY.

Staple= Tetra Cichlid Sticks

Now food is ordered in most often fed to least often fed:

1. Tetra tropical community flakes
2 Hikari Cichlid Gold (color enhancer)
3. Freeze-dried Krill
4. Frozen Brine Shrimp
5. Freeze Dried Bloodworms
6. Beefheart

Colors are great on all fish.
 
Are you supposed to peel them or just feed them whole with the "shell"?

Burt:)


Keep them in the shell. There is an enzyme in the shell that helps with coloration of the fish. You can buy it in powdered form from JEHMCO, but natural is always better. My dad always leaves the shells on when he feeds his big preds. Dried Krill is good, because it does include the shell.
