Is It True?

[H]-[H]

That feeding market shrimp(peeled) & bloodworms daily could really kill the fish?

 

[phobull]

i feed my fish bloodworms once every 3 days =/

I've never heard heard of this one but I hope that it is'nt true because I feed my fish a good bit of raw shrimp.

It won't necessarily kill them, it's just that feeding nothing but meaty foods isn't a very balanced diet for a fish that is naturally omnivorous. Depends what kind of fish you're talking about.

In my case, the fish is a flowerhorn..

Mix it up. Try peas.

Feed small varied meals. That's the key. Too much proteins and less fiber will certainly cause bloating that can damage your fish's digestive system. The shrimps though may not be an issue as it helps push out the excess foods clogging the system similarly what the peas do.

But aren't Flowehorns mostly Trimac, which are carnivores?

like lupin said, it can lead to issues with the digestive system...especially with herbivores that shouldn't consume that much protein

What are the fibre food that can be fed to fish? Is pea one of it?
What if I feed a mixed variety of pellets & include shrimps & bloodworms in their daily diet? Does this work out?
