thanks
i dnt think it would be bad but you should be throwing a variety of food in there. i would reccomend making your own food i did it and it is great easy and cheap, i bought a filet of fish, come clams, shrimp and squid mixed with fozen algae and ran them through a cheese grater and my clowns love it.

Mysis, while very high in protein lack the HUFA/omega-3's that are needed because they are a fresh water shrimp. A good addition to a diet, but not a sole diet.
If you use fresh seafood, be sure to get the most natural.. Whole shrimp with heads brains eyeballs, tails, whole squid, whole..... Be sure to rinse, rinse and rinse some more. Even the freshest seafoods often come packed in tripolyphosphate. Also add some seaweeds because they are very important
