The protein to fat ratios are off in FW animals (too much fat, not enough protein) for a group of animals (cephs) which have protein based metabolisms and little to no way of dealing with fats. FW can be given as a treat much like we eat candy, tastes good but isn't really very good for us!

so what all of you are saying is shore shrimp are good for semi adult to adult and mysis and brine are for hatchlingsJean;140070 said:Most tonmoers have heard me rant on about this The best food for saltwater critters are other saltwater critters!

New hatch, less than 12 hours old have a food sack that has some value and they may be helpful in attacting new hatch cuttles to look for food but they have little to no food value, adult brine have almost none and are pretty much only good for delivering artificially gut loaded food.
