Does everyone here that feeds their arowana deshell their market prawns/shrimp? I know that the aro can injure itself with the shell on but thats just the tail and head of the shrimp right? Also doesn't the shells contain some vitamins? I ask this because I have been feeding my aro shelled shrimp but people tell me that i shouldn't because it can kill or injure my fish. Nothing has happened so far but i dont want to chance my aro dieing for just some red and vitamins from the shells.

The shells could contain some chitin? and other things, that is good for color but would be mostly roughiage witch has a laxitive effect and could be good for his gut
but if you think there would be danger to the fish then dont do it! Personaly I think everything we feed are fishes should be whole and unchanged

Tale spikes should be removed as a precation, shells can be left on though. This is a good thread regarding frozen market shrimp; http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70986&highlight=shrimp
