Hi I have a 3yr old king tiger pleco and use to buy her chopped frozen prawns to eat with her other food, but they stopped selling it so I've bought cooked prawns can I feed her one of these chopped up?
Thanks

Aren't prawns and shrimp the same thing?I wouldnât. Prawns contain thiaminase which leads to vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency. The little frozen âprawnsâ we buy for prawn cocktails and prawn sandwiches are actually a species of shrimp, which donât contain thiaminase.
(Theyâre also precooked btw)
The names are used interchangeably but officially theyâre in different sub-orders.Aren't prawns and shrimp the same thing?
