I agree 100% , But Each person has to decide for them self! Like I do with all my pets if alot of people say something is bad , you got to think and say maybe theres something there! LOL In the case of Krill , there just to many red flags out there!

After reading this article, I do not doubt that feeding a diet rich in krill is bad. However, a diet with some krill in it is definitely seems healthy. It appears that cockles are a food that we should definitely try to provide for puffers.

I thought I'd mention my 5 year old Ceylon, who is fed frozen krill all the time. No negative side affects. He is also fed an array of other foods, but gets krill on a pretty regular basis.

Yes and no... The hobby is usually a little quicker to react than science. Suppose someone was to say "what's up with that?" then science would have to do studies and research on various test subjects over a period of years (not months), thus what you see in the hobby, although second hand and not verifiable, may still be ahead of the game.
