is cooked shrimp ok to feed?

[fwlion]

I feed my fish cut market shrimp but the little small salad shrimps are PERFECT size shrimp for feeding

BUT I can't find TINY shrimp raw only cooked is the cooked ok to feed my fish

Cooked wont hurt them but nutritionally raw is much better.

 

[crashinc25]

Agreed, but they have a higher salt content. Nutritional value is lost in the cooking process, so you are feeding just to fill their bellies.

I use market shrimp along with a variaty of other food but all of it is raw and you need a good mix. No one thing is going to be good enough in the long run IMO.

Cooked as in boiled ? o.k.
Cooked as in deep fried heat and eat ? not o.k.
I use frozen/thawed on occasion, just cut them to the size you want/need.
'Course, in my case, most of them go to MY belly with some cocktail sauce chased with a swig of beer, and the fish get the fish food.

Cooked are okay, unless spiced, but raw is better. Even better is raw, still in the shell, if your fish are of a type to be able to handle it, just break or cut off the rostrum (pointy nose) before using.
