I feed my tank tigershrimp form albertsons. If you put the shrimp in HOT water for a few, peel the skin, then you can almost smell the shrimp. It's amazing that the fish LOVE the smell of JUST BARELY cooked shrimp. I poor the water the shrimp are soaking in into the tank. Wait a few seconds then put in small chunks of the shrimp. Let it float around. They will find it.

I will just give my warning that your system will flood, bulbs will burn out, and things will take continuous maintenance... get over it.

Everyone, correct me if I'm wrong. But in when I teach nutrition, I teach that cooking takes away vitamins and minerals and denatures (starts the breakdown) of the food. Isn't it better for the tank to get raw fish instead of partially cooked?

I don't even BOIL the shrimp... Just soak them in as hot of water that your tap will give. Then after about 30-60 seconds you can put the 3-6 ounces of water in the tank... NOT directly on a fish or coral though

I've never had anyone in my tank turn down fresh, raw, thawed in tankwater shrimp. But I doubt hot water does anything bad to the shrimp... when you buy krill at the LFS it's been cooked.

im not from utah by the way, just found your forum to be of my interest also.
im from the philippines and reef tanks are rare here so they sell lions very cheap. i bought it for 15bucks phil currency and $1=55 you can do the math.
ive seen before salt water fish culltured to adapt to freshwater but they were small specimens so i was just curious if it was also possible for lions.
thanks for the reply adam, its greatly appreciated...
