he is talking about the shells and prawns with the heads on. i feed all sorts of sea food to my fish. my water is never had a problem. my fish have never died from sea food. if you feed only pellets to your fish you are not giving it the best. i have a gar that only eats pellets i give it all the pellets it can eat. my friend has 2 gars of the same speices, got at the same time, from the same batch, i know i got them for him. his eat everything offered. his are thicker and slightly larger, then mine under the same conditions and time. pellets are great, but if you only feed what your fish will eat right away. you will have the same problems with water quality if you let them sit
on the bottom. a mixed diet is key to healthy fish, no matter the speices.
in regards to the thread. on my mixed diet i have had a silver go from 3" to 24"+ in 10 months.

You need nothing else beaides pellets if they take tejm ( good quality pellets i mean )
I have kept aros for more tha 20 years. All that died died from stuff that was not well frozen, not well prepared, or from the shrimps pointy ends.
I have two footera perfectly healthy just on a good pellets diet. All the rest is unneceasray and takes a heavy toll on water quality.
But, in the end,we all learn by doing what we feel needs to to be done...

im feeding my arowana a main diet of hikari food sticks and a treat of smelt and shrimp twice a week.
did you have a vet check your dead fish and tell you it was from the shrimp? or are you just assuming it was?
i have had aros for many years aswell and never had problems. i prepare my fishes food myself, i make sure it is at a quality i would eat before my fish get it. if i wont eat it my fish do not get it. i have high quality pellets that i feed my fish, but that is not all they get.
you say over and over "the toll it takes on your water" what proof do you have of this? if you fish eats it right away and nothing sits i want to know how it herts the water.
another point i feel i must bring up is rays. rays are far more fragile then any aro, yet one of the main foods givin to just about every ray out there is market shrimp. funny, would think if it was as bad all around as you say it is, why are there so many fish that are givin it and are the healthiest fish youll ever see?
just because you dont like a food doesnt mean it is bad. you can cause just as much damage to your water with too many pellets and letting them sit as you can by letting shrimp or any other food sit. i would like to see facts regarding the distruction of the water quality but feeding shrimp over pellets. i am not talking if it sits around on the bottom, i am talking you feed it and your fish eats it right away. i must know how it has time to foul your water?
