Krill.

Post by eieio »

i keep reading references about krill causing lockjaw..............
if this is true, are we talking all krill (frozen, dried, freeze dried, or as a component in flake or pellet food)?
are we talking all fish, just puffers, just freshwater or brackish, or saltwater puffers?
are we talking facts, or are we just erring on the side of safety?
for those of you who have had fish suffer lockjaw, what kind of fish were they, and how much and how often, and what form of krill were they fed?
