Shrimp Feeding Question

[OVRNINETHOUSAND]

I usually feed my fish shrimp I buy from the store. Its in the frozen section and says its fully cooked. Is it better or worse to feed than raw shrimp?

Raw shrimp are more nutritional, cooked and frozen shrimp lose beneficial nutrients during the cooking proses.

*Also eating the shell on the shrimp is really beneficial to fish and humans.*

Can the cooked/frozen stuff cause any harm to my fish?

No.

A lot of people prefer the frozen food over freeze dried though

if its any help, when i feed any of my puffers (defrosted frozen seafood) i tend to soak it in fish vitamin water for quite a while...

Yup I agree.

frozen is better but neither frozen or cooked will hurt your fish. Fresh seafood can transfer disease in a salt tank and should be frozen first.
