When it's written in one of Linke and Staeck's books to feed a fish 'peeled shrimp and crab', does that refer to raw? I know this is probably right up there with the dumb question of the week, but I've never tried to feed my fish either and I'd like to try, so I want to get it right. Thanks in advance. I have a few big bruiser South American cichlids and they may appreciate some more variety in their diets. Also, if it's shrimp, can I use the stuff they sell for human consumption? Devein it as well? (Given the three cats I have, it would be treat time for all.)
