good for 4 inch cichla?

That's what I fed mine before I gave them up

Its probubly fine but market shrimp are MUCH cheaper per pound if you shop around and a lot better for them. A small pair of snips is all you need to cut them up for the smaller dudes.

I agree with Wolf3101. frozen raw shrimp. Cut up for small clichla... I learned that the hard way.

You should have no problem with it, but it would cost way more... although they may be a little better nutritionally, since they would eat more of the fd than the raw... and as long as the dehydration didn't take out too much of the nutrition then they would get more nutrition before they got full...

shrimp is shrimp and no processed food is ever as healthy as natural foods.

But frozen market shrimp isn't exactly the same as "natural" live foods either. I do agree though that fd shrimp is probably not quite as nutritional as frozen market shrimp.

 

[Wolf3101]

The fish used as feeders are very inadiquate...from a nutritional stand point. Besides I don't feed market shrimp by themselves. The question was... if freeze dryed was any good...
