... Do you eat the shrimp shell? The nutrition facts there reflect the nutrition content of the shrimp as a human would eat it. Feed with shell on for calcium... (Pinch off the tail barb though, those can mess up your fish.)

That's TRUE...
 
Why do you think calcium is needed by crutaceans they need it somewhere.

;) My logic is undeniable. Compare to nutrition content of freeze dried whole shrimp with shell on.

haha... you know what... I have take my words back.

No calcium in shrimp's shell. The shell is made out of something called Chitin.. a protein derivative. like your nail, rhino's horn... etc........ 0% calcium

I believe most of those aquatic animals feed on crustacean only get their calcium supply from water source. Especially those marine animals.

That's keep talking.....:naughty::naughty:

I didn't say calcium is needed for crustacean... that's why they have exoskeleton.. ( chitin ) made out of protein structure.
