Re: Prawns storage Question
I go these prawns from the supermarket on their chilled counter, i was planning to freeze them and just defrost one at a time for him. BUT on the back of the packet it says "these have already been frozen and restored to chilled in a controlled way, not suitable for home freezing" Do you think they would still be ok for the puffer if i froze them? or would i give him food poisoning?

Re: Prawns?
It's fine to do, they will just be at less than peak flavor from multiple freezings.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Re: Prawns?
The Prwn went down a treat, he only ate half then he had a hissy fit and filled the tank with sand! seemed quite happy and full tho! i put a small shelled prawn in my community tank and my reed fish swallowed it down in 1! how greedy!
