Catspa Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 probable a stupid question but Can we feed our fish raw shell fish... ie raw shrimp, raw squid, raw crab...etc.. I assume we can, but just double checking. Which/what is the most nutrious? thanks Link to comment
Lunchbucket Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 hell yeah!! that is what they eat in nature and i believe that is the best food for them. there are many DIY food sites out there w/ many different versions. i guess the guts are supposed to have the most nutrition but any raw UNTREATED seafood would be great. i have used shrimp, mussles, squid Lunchbucket Link to comment
Catspa Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 Ya i figured, but wasn't sure if possible paracitic prob..etc. So, what do you think tasts the best (from the fishes perspective)? its particularly for my cardinal... so i'm guessing crab (but i'm biased on this.. ) Link to comment
Lunchbucket Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 just trial and error i guess. most people find shrims works good for about any fish. Lunchbucket Link to comment
Catspa Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 thanks So when we talk about shrimp, we're talking the uncooked shrimp ie brown in color, not the cooked shimp that you see al the time in shrimp rings and shrimp cocktails ..ie orange in color... right? Link to comment
Lunchbucket Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 blue uncooked shrimp blueish brown yeah Link to comment
Catspa Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 alright, i'll give it a try, thanks! Link to comment
lizbeth Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I use a mix and they love it. I put it the food processer partially frozen and chop it till fine/minced. Squash it flat in (1/8') a ziplock and freeze it. Break off a small piece and thaw in a cup in of tank water. I feed it about twice a week and the corals, shrimp, and Newman go czazy! Link to comment
Catspa Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 hey thats a good tip, think i'll try it. I'm guessing newman is your cat Link to comment
lizbeth Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 No, but the cats do hang around the tank at feeding time. This is Newman....doesn't he have beautiful blue eyes? Link to comment
