The juices from frozen foods?

I've been reading a lot about the people removing the juices from the frozen foods before feeding. This brought up a concern, as I have not been doing this (a book and LFS had said to leave it in when I first started this hobby). I just was wondering why you take it out, and have I been doing harm to my tank?

 

what types of foods are you using?

i know there are alot of bad things in frozen foods from processing to manufacturing the product, but i get the ones with spirulina in the "juices" and my corals go nuts whenever i toss that in there.

 

I'm feeding Bio-Pure's Mysis and H20 Life's Fish and Reef #2.

 

im not terribly possitive on this but someone once told me that frozen mysis shrimp have little to no bennificial nutrient value compared to others.... i dont know how true that is so dont quote me on that ;D its just food for thought , personally when i started using the brine with spirulina (long time ago) my fish started to look healthier, but that was when i actually had fish so it could be different

 

Look, I just quoted you on it
What kind of fish did you have Nano? The mysis has been the primary food source for my damsels and clowns for about 2 months. They sure gobble it up, and appear to be healthy. But I am always up for suggestions from people that have been down the road Ive only begun to travel
What specifically is in these frozen foods that you are supposed to avoid putting in your tank?

 

LOL, i used to have....umm a Scribbled Rabbitfish, Blue Gungeon goby, a few misc. wrasse's, a chevron tang, a few jawfish(names excape me now) a pair of black clowns, and i think a few other really rare/wierd gobys....i just remember making the switch from mysis to the brine and there colors just looked so dam vibrant, but if your not having any trouble then dont change your feeding habbits, do what works for you.....and i actually have no idea whats in the frozen but i know its not that good for some products.

 

I was told the exact opposite yesterday that Mysis shrimp are more nutritious than Brine.

 

Brine shrimp unless they are "gutloaded" just before freezing are of very little nutritional value. Mysid shrimp even frozen contain Amino acids and omega fatty acids that reef creature require.

I rinse the frozen shrimp only because if I didn't with as much as I feed my seahorses I would have a mess.

 

i have been told that mysis are better then brine but i would think that every batch is different

 

I am not aware of which has better nutritional value. But, I always soak my frozen foods in selcon before feeding. It's a nutritional additive and is supposed to keep colours vibrant and fish healthy. Good for the corals too, I'm told.
