I have pellets and feed them live fish as well, but I found some frozen cooked shrimp in my freezer and my JD loooooves shrimp. Any reason why I shouldn't feed it to my fish?
Can I feed cooked shrimp to my cichlids?

Feed raw, fish don't eat cooked shrimp in nature why should they in our tanks?
I was mostly asking because I just happen to have this shrimp and it isn't going anywhere else. I figure humans can still obtain some nutrition from shrimp so the fish probably can too right?
Well we do get some nutrition from cooked shrimp but thats not why we eat them.When you cook food,a good deal of the nutrients are destroyed but hopefully most of us get what we require from other sources unlike a fish that is in your care.Toss the shrimp in there,it shouldnt harm the fish,if he eats it consider it a treat.What is up with your avatar?Pomatomus;3470541; said:
You can,raw is better but cooked is still good.
Or you could just get some cocktail sauce and eat them yourself!

Like I said I feed them pellets and live fish as well, so I hope that's enough nutrition. This is somewhat of a treat to fill them up!
And yeah...I just found my avatar from a google search. I was/am new to MFK so I just wanted to get some sort of a profile/avatar so I felt like less of a nobody here >.<
Thanks for the responses guys that's all I needed to hear
