Prawns - chopped or whole?

[GrubbyGirl]

How do you feed them? Also I presume everyone feeds cooked prawns?

Pop A Fork in them and just let it sink .

Pull it out next day.

yes, I defrost frozen prawn and then weight it down with a metal clip

I tend to use frozen, defrost them and break them up into smaller pieces.

I use frozen, defrost in some warm water and put in whole with a fork stabbed in them

Depends on the size of fish. i just let them sink, with all the carnivores in my tank there isn't anything left after a few hours anyways

 

[Oscar300]

I chuck them in frozen and if they make it past the dats and bgk the plecs get a few!

 

[danielryan]

sorry arent frozen prawns always un-cooked?

 

[GrubbyGirl]

If they are pink they are cooked, uncook are a bluish colour

L235 love them my small group just finished of two

 

[GrubbyGirl]

Well my 6 don't seem to like them, I put two in last night and fished 2 out this morning barely nibbled

Just one on this.....If by chance you have fussy fish and they don't eat prawns then dont leave them in the tank....fish them out. otherwise they will get a cotton wool fungus on the prawn...and this can't be good for any tank...probably push your ammonia level right up too.

In short the most dangers thing any fish keeper can do is let food rot in a tank.
