Bigpapa,
Are the "Ghost Shrimp" freshwater? There are two kinds of shrimp often referred to this way, one is freshwater and the other a brackish water variety. I have read that the freshwater shrimp (like all other freshwater food) is not an acceptable primary diet. I am not an expert on diet but have stayed away from any freshwater feeds because of the warnings. It may well be that because of the short life span, the concerns are moot.

) I can only try to piece together what I have read about the "fats" in fresh vs saltwater foods. The mysis that seahorses are most often fed are freshwater/brackish water creatures and are enriched to add a balance for saltwater stomachs. For octopuses, the preferred choice has been saltwater critters but many recommendations are for brackish water animals even as primary diet (fiddlers vs mithrax) because of availability and cost. But all these are recommendations about primary diets and not occassional feedings (like your praun or crawfish) that are both accepted and relished as a special item.
