This is why Mysis Shrimp is good, High fatty acid profiles, High Omega 3, Basically like naturally occuring Selcon, and if you dont use or like selcon? then I wouldnt let you care for my fish...
Nothing personal to anyone on the list but almost all reef tanks I see with fish have malnourished fish.
