Frequently Asked Questions

What fish can eat chopped prawns?

This food is best suited to fish that prefer a meat based diet. Ideal candidates include cichlids, catfish and Discus, as well as lionfish, triggers, puffers, angels and wrasses.

Is chopped prawn better than krill?

Not necessarily. They both have their individual benefits. Chopped prawn is a little smaller, so more easily consumed by fish with slightly smaller mouths and has a softer texture, whilst krill is high in astaxanthin, commonly associated with colour enhancement in fish.

Can chopped prawns be fed to marine fish?

Absolutely. Chopped prawn is widely accepted by many marine fish species and is commonly used as part of a varied feeding programme for predators, wrasses, puffers, triggers and marine angelfish.

How often should I feed chopped prawn?

Most tropical fish keepers will offer chopped and other frozen foods up to 3 times per week as part of a healthy balanced diet. Marine fish have slightly higher calorie requirements and consume more frozen foods, so a varied diet of frozen food should be fed daily.

Is chopped prawn a complete food?

Chopped prawn is a good food source when fed alongside pellets and other frozen foods to provide a more balanced nutritional profile. Variety is key to healthy fish!

Can this be fed to turtles?

Absolutely! They’ll really enjoy this meaty treat! But as with all things yummy, moderation is key.
