Feeding Anchovies?

[moonchild1970]

Is it ok to feed fresh, wild caught frozen anchovies? I saw some at an oriental market today when I went there with Husband.

Saw mixed reviews when I did a search. Want to be sure before I buy and feed.

as long as there fresh and not canned with oil and more salt then fish no problem they are a little oily naturally so don't use them as a staple but once in a while mixed with other foods there fine

Great! Thanks!

I think they would be harmless without the the massive amount of salt usually added to them

Well that didn't turn out so well. Went and bought them and they turned their noses up at them.

They will take it. Just be patient. I was feeding my dats blue anchovies until I switched to Hikari FD krill. Now the primadonna dats of mine won't take San Francisco brand krill. Too bad for them 'coz its a pretty big jar.

I am also thinking switching to anchovy again though just to make it different. Krill-anchovie-krill-anchovy diet.
