Benthic shark nutrition

[Mjoy4567]

Hello fellow shark keepers. How is everyone getting that added boost of vitamins and minerals into their sharks? Is there an easy to use "all in 1" supplement. My Epaulette is currently eating prawn pieces and lance fish. Both don't seem complete enough and come from frozen.
I have been trying to incorporate Vitalis platinum pellets for the added vitamins but so far not interested and won't even go for pieces of food I try and hide them in.
May I add that it's only around 8-10 weeks old.

Thanks

Soak ur cut/prepared vish in marine vitachem...the best vits for sharks are "mazuri" brand shark tabs... you shove them inside of whatever there eating and feed 1 tab per day. You can do the same with pellets. My coral catsharks were on squid/shrimp soaked in vitachem but again the Mazuri tabs are a staple for most zoos/keepers. They do have a shelf life tho and must be used before expiration. Mazuri also offers a powder/slurry you can soak prepared foods in. Id start by shoving the pellets you have into cut fish/shrimp to get it into them then start looking into vitachem/mazuri for long term.

Agreed with the above posts, Mazuri should do it.
