Where is everyone buying there food for the predators prawn mussel whitebait etc...
Is it just straight out of the freezers in the supermarket? Any good online sources in bulk UK?
 
When I had my rays I fed massivore (stinky), NF carnivore, tilapia fillets & whole peel raw shrimp from Kroger
 
Tesco´s, Sainsburys, or Waitrose´s.
Frozen is good, although just because its frozen, doesn´t mean its rid of parasites and bacteria if only thawed (some survive freezing). and fresh water fish can easily harbor parasites, and pass them along.
 
Yea, true.
I also heard from a friend recently that they had a whole tank of fish wiped out from an additive in frozen shrimp. I can’t remember which it was though, or why it was used in indiv quick frozen shrimp packing, but I am thankful the shrimp for human consumption I used for my rays was safe 😅

Woolworths has been gone from the UK for around 16 years it wasn't really groceries here tho.
Tesco Sainsbury's "Waitrose" oh very posh haha as mentioned above.
I'm more of a Lidl or Aldi man much cheaper to feed the 5 kids 👌

Your never paying Waitrose prices 😆

Do you know what parasites can live through a deep freeze?
We used to lamp rabbits as a kid and freeze them for up to six weeks to rid the worms so we could use them for raw dog food
