Grocery Store Fresh Shrimp

has anyone tried feeding their agressives this meal?? Could there be any bad things about feeding with this?? thanks

I feed my tanks a variety of foods and I include grocery store shrimp in that. As long as they are not cooked nor 'flavored' they should be fine. Just rinse them under cold water. chop them up and enjoy the show.

I also feed grocery store shrimp (uncooked) to my guys, but I freeze them for at least 24 hours first.

Mostly just feed my eel them because they are easy to stab with a feeder stick.

I have made my own gel food in the past. Really not that hard but does have a certain aroma when grinding up seafood. I used unflavored gelatin and have use algae-based algin as binder. The great thing about this is the ability to add whatever ingredients you want for a particular fish and can add multi-vitamins (the ones for infants) to fortify the mix further.

I feed the uncooked shrimp to my fish every other day. They love it.

That question comes down to how they prepared it, any spices, detergents, preservitieves....etc....

I've been feed shrimp for a couple of years and have had
no problems. It is best if you get it from the store already
frozen and thaw out what you need to feed.

GREAT STUFF, shrimp, squid, scollops, never have COOKED it. Id say if you did it would LOOSE some of it's nutritional value, you could soak it in vitamins over night to help.
