As you could see when watching the video, there is another related link which discusses horse hair tapeworms in shrimp. The ghost shrimp we have fed my Africans are wild caught here in the saltwater bays.
First, are these tapeworms something to watch for with wild caught shrimp, or do they mostly occur in Wal Mart shrimp? (tongue in cheek)
Second, can they survive in fresh water fish and is it therefore a risk to feed them to my Africans?

do the shrimp cause bloat? i feed them to my small fronts but was kind of iffy on my mbunas

 

[fisheater]

Ive always heard they caused bloat,thats why ive stayed away.

Do they carry diseases ?

i dont believe so, but i think there protein % is a tad to high for mbunas. i may be wrong though
