well i went to the food store the other day to get some food and i was at the counter ordering some fresh frozen sea food for my fishes and the guy asured me that there was an assorted bag of seafood that would be great for my needs. well after i fed my sfe bout 5 little shrimps, my chocolate chimp star fish some clam(maybe..?), and my puffer some squid. it was only for a day then i started to think that maybe it was cooked and i should look into it more...so i did and it was cooked and then frozen. i dont eat seafood so i had no idea. i dont know what is what when it comes to that. so anyway, i fed it to them and im not going to anymore but will it do any harm to them? i dont think it will since it was only a litte bit.
so my questions are, why is it bad to feed them cooked seafood(even though i have no intentions of doing it again, im just wondering)
and 2 will anything happen to my fish? they absolutly loved it...
thanks

Nutritional value also digestive ability. Otherwise its just fine for them
Depends on the critter eating it really. I would never think its as bad as some people promote but just why do it when fresh raw is so readily available.
Also when raw, theres the juice and blood that really feeds everything, filter feeders open when they can smell it in the water.
No harm ,no foul with the treat but I would recommend to stay with fresh raw seafood

yes there's nothing wrong with it, But like already stated when cooked/boiled it looses a lot of its nutritional value so pretty much is worthless (nutritional wise) . Other than that there's nothing wrong .
stick with raw
