Raw or cooked shrimp?

Do fish get cooked shrimp in the wild?

Raw, try it with the shell on, as it contains carotene which is a color enhancer. Mine don't eat the shell unfortunatly

I feed mine with the shell, but it may be better for P's to have it without the shell... but i doubt it.

maybe not nice atlantic shrimp, but would be suprised if they didn't have shrimp in their diet, as they eat invertebrates in the wild yes.

 

[mr36st]

yes they do, fresh water shrimp, that is the shrimp i feed my P's, you would think since theres no one to de shell them in the wild, they would love the shell, but just like someone else said, mine do not eat the shell eather, maybe i should of started off giving them it with the shell on it would be differnt, but when they were small i didnt think they could handel it

My old ones used to eat it w/ the shell on, but I haven't tried feeding it to my new little ones yet.

no as most of those are cooked.. raw shrimp.. usually in a bag or container anywhere from $4.00/lb to $10.00/lb pending on size of shrimp. But raw shrimp preferably with the shell on if your fish are large enough to bite through the shell.
