raw or cooked shrimps for live food?

[fugu]

i have seen in some aquarium books cooked shrimps being used to make your own 'live food' i would have thought that these shoud be served raw as in nature, would anyone know what the correct method is?
thanks in advance

I have always used raw shrimp and fish, and have never heard of using cooked. If anybody knows otherwise, please speak up.

i would suggest against using cooked shrimp for your live food. The cooking process alters the protein structure of the food and this could have a possible adverse effect on the palates of our discriminating customers.
