Is it OK for any fish to eat chicken ?
Someone at the petstore told me he feeds his triggers and fish raw chicken
Is it safe and should I try it

they might eat it but the question is will it hurt them.
for sure I dont know but personally I wouldnt do it. its not part of there natural diet and could have long term effects that arent good.

My huma trigger loves Kentucky Fried. Tears it apart like he's never eaten before.
He gets a tiny little piece of meat (no skin or breading) and he goes wild with it.
Once in a while (once or month or so) I don't think it will hurt, and its a good source of protein.

I would be cautious... We know that feeding freshwater feeders is bad for fish, i'm sure chicken might pose some risks. But I could be wrong.

I'm with Irenicus,
If FW fish are bad for some SW fish to eat I can imagine land animals can be aswell. Shoot some of those animals are bad for us to eat. I would think it could cause health problems down the road. There is probably a good reason the experts and the food makers don't recommend or use anything but marine animals in there foods. As cheap as most larg companies are, they would have long started using cheaper land animals in marine fish foods instead of expensive marine animals, if it was OK. Just think about it.
