Shrimp okay for feeding?

Post by Deep Freeze »

OK, so I have a GSP and I was told that I can feed him shrimp from the store. Well, the shrimp seem fine to me, they are tailless, deveined, cooked, and frozen in the package. One thing worries me though, the ingredients state that they contain salt and sodium tripolyphosphate. Would this be safe for Lime to ingest.

Thanks...

They should be fed uncooked shrimp, not cooked. Raw in the shell is best.
