And of course the other argument is that fish should only be fed foods that
(at least) evolved in the same environment as they did. Anything else is
just unnatural. But then again, where does that leave us humans?

Why do we always have to be the exception to every rule?

the stuff.

doing it for over 30 years. I have the shrimp hidden in the back of the
refrigerator, because they sometimes gets eaten by the kids if they find
it. Everyone seems to like the shrimp.
