Market Shrimp

[soggysandwich]

what do i buy? raw or cooked?

 

[NilePufferFanatic]

I buy raw since it is closer to what my fish would find in the wild.

I buy raw shrimp....The packaged, freezed "cocktail" shrimp make good treats...I buy whole prawns, squid, krill, and tilapia....I stick to the white meats when it comes to fish, no salmon....

raw shrimp works fine, as does tilapia, which I find fish seem to like.

I use a pair of scissors to cut the shrimp up into smaller pieces. The only fish I have now that will eat large prawns whole is my arowana.

Importracer, why not feed salmon?

Salmon is too high in fat content and will muck up water pretty quickly. I use pollack.

But for market shrimp I'd definitely use raw.
