Raw F/T Shrimp vs. Boiled/chilled for Morays

[Frank Castle]

Well, really for ANY fish but for now it will be my Morays' 1st meal since bringing them home a few days ago.


Is it safer/better to give this to them simply thawed-out or should I boil and chill before giving it to my fish?

Do not boil them as the cooking process will destroy what little nutrition the shrimp contains lol.

Best served raw and thawed out.

I m talking grocery store-bought shrimp, like by the pound people eat.....is it better WITH the shells or will the shell be hard to digest or provide nutrients they need?

When I did use them I would leave the shells on if the fish were big enough to handle it.

When I used too have my snowflake eel, it didn't like the shell so I would peel it off. On the other hand my old jardini loved it with or without shell.

I have rays and I always feed them raw. Cooking takes nutrients out. I think of it this way no one cooks it for them in nature

I give my moray shrimp with the shell seeing that is how they would eat it in the wild when i feed mine i let them thaw im sure eating it frozen or cook is bad for them
