Feed my Flowerhorn Prawns everyday?

[GS1981]

I feed him once daily on Hikari Gold and he eats it all, then once a day i give him half a large prawn (Shrimp in US i think)

Does Shrimp/Prawn contain the same thing that Krill contains that makes the Flowerhorn deeper red?

Is this safe to feed him this? or should i just do it like once a week? he loves it and takes it from my fingers.

Also how often should i give him blood worms?

Heres a vid of me hand feedign him prawns...

Also how often should i feed him greens like peas etc?

basically this is the food available to me, could you give me a guide line of how much to feed him and when?....

Hikari Cichlid Gold (red packet) medium pellet
Hikari Cichlid Staple (green packet) small pellet
Frozen large prawns

Stick with pellets as it's main food and feed shrimp or krill a couple of times a week. Healthier for the fish

Do prawns have the same effect on colour as Krill?

I've never fed krill before but I know prawns with shell on will enhance red colors.

Try feed either shelled or raw (blue in colour ) prawns I've found they defo make diff to colour in my tank over the cooked ones , need pellet in diet aswell hikari gold are good all rounder

blood worms should be used as a treat as well as prawns/shrimp. maybe 1 or 2 times a week. Pellets will be more effective and should be fed at least 2 times daily. I feed my fish 2 times a day. I usually start by feeding as much as they will eat, and once I get a good estimate on how many they can eat, I reduce it by 25%. I don't think they should be fed until their stomach is exploding. If you feed too much bloodworms, you'll get a constipated flowerhorn. I think prawns and krill have similar benefits as long as they are fresh.

So is okay if I give frozen shrimp to my flowerhorn
