My fahaka like them silversides, I think they're anchovies... should this be a snack or okay for meals?

Neither, fahakas are not piscavores.

We like to eat junk food but it's not necessarily good for us.

Krill is like puffer crack. Be careful with that too.

I see, I guess for the most part I follow that. He eats. Live crabs and crays everyweek, I don't thaw out my food so thouroughly, I just chunk it in the tank he grabs it and waves it arund like a lion. I'm not worried about the extra bio load, I change my water like crazy and get it tested every 2 weeks. I have quite a bit of ghost shrimp that scavange for leftovers anyway.. whaaddaya think

I think it's always best to thaw his food in room temp vitamin water & drain off the "juice".
