Feeding my hairy puffer
I am currently feeding, once a week as part of my hairy puffers diet, whole cooked prawns with shell on, tail, eyes, etc. My enquiry is that the only ones I can get my hands on are for human consumption, and are cooked in 2% salt, I cannot get any not prepared in this way. I make sure when they are defrosted that I rinse them thoroughly, will feeding this be doing any harm? I looked at using raw prawns but the worry on these is that they are probably dipped in chlorinated water another no no. Because my puffer is quite fussy, I would not like to stop these prawns if they are ok, as he really loves them. What does anyone think ? (He also loves mussels and live river shrimps by the way )

You must only feed raw foods to your fish. Cooked foods are harder for them to digest. I don't think the salt is good for a FW fish either.
