    Grocery Store Foods?

    I bought some all natural frozen shrimp for all my fish and anenome's to eat. Should I leave the shell on? I know Krill can cause some problems with blockage. Should I do anything else to the shrimp besides rinsing it under water? Thanks for all the help.

    I'm back with a problem already. There is a weird white spot on the sides of his. One on each side to match one another. I'm hoping that this is from getting ready to shed.

    I have tried twice and failed twice to keep a frogfish alive. Both times I believe they died from eatting Tuffies. I usually feed ghost shrimp, but once in awhile I and the pet store run out. I know that frogfish are very easy to over feed. Currently in my tank, Snowflake eel, fuzzy dwarf...
