Feeding with Cuttlefish

[nirman]

Ok guys Just saw cuttlefish and got the idea that feeding my silver arowana with that coz it's so smelly... Cutted into some little pieces and put that into the tank, OMG aro goes crazy and eat all pieces like a freak... And nothing bad on water. Then tried to find some info about feeding with CF and cannot find any, but i found that raw cuttlefish contains 88% of protein and no thiaminase which is enzyme that breaks down the thiamine (Thiamine/Vitamin B1 is very important in carbohydrate metabolism).
And it's realy cheap. if i use it for my aro, it costs only around 0.35 USD for a month.
So what you guys think?

If I remember correctly, cuttlefish is very high in either fat or cholesterol. However, I'm not sure how that compares to other similar food items; if it's on par with them, then I say go for it.

Not fat. It contains 8% of fat and rich in cholesterol, I don't know exactly about fish and cholesterol. If someone know?
And most of popular fish foods like goldfish, rosyreds, shrimp, krill contains thiaminase and it's realy bad enzyme for the pets.., well just need to know more about this..

Just got some idea about cholesterole.

The extra cholesterol would keep the shines on the scales.

And this 2nd topic shows that fishes are different frm humans and cholesterole occure specialy on mammals. arowana is swimming all the day (exercise).
