Dried shrimp feeding

[safwansidd]

Hi guys, should dried shrimp be fed to fish with head or head removed? I have oscars and arowana and feeding dried shrimp with head might hurt them since it's sharp idk if I'm depriving them of the full nutrition by doing that? Anyone know?

You could try soaking them first.

I've fed them with the head, no problem.

The whole critter would certainly be more nutritionally complete than just the tail meat. If you are worried about the sharp bits, just soak them in a glass of water to rehydrate and soften them before feeding.

Freeze dried shrimp? Krill sized?

My oscar and severum gobble that stuff up. Lots-o-fiber for them IMO.

The Silver Arowana should have no problem they have a bony tongue.
