Should i feed my dragon fish cooked or raw shrimp in the shell or not?

Question

still caint get my dragon to eat should i feed it raw or cooked shrimp with the shell or no shell

Answer 1

i feed all my fish raw, the shell contains nutrients that can help your fish to stay healthy, cooking it also removes nutrients as well

Answer 2

what kind of "dragon fish" do you have? that common name can be applied to arowanas, bichirs and violet gobies.

raw shrimp is best, cooked shrimp could have been cooked with added salts/oils that would be bad for the fish.

Answer 3

violet gobies , as I said before they are brackish water sand sifters that like algae wafers, Try ghost shrimp or cut the shrimp into small pieces, you may find that they don't like the shell on shrimp(mine eat them).  be prepared  to try shell on and off shrimp,  I would feed it raw, it looses nutrients when cooked.
