best frozen foods ?

I like to feed frozen hotdogs...

hmmm... hotdogs... the particle board of meat. ;-) I saw a billboard ad for some fast food. "Meal for one, salt for four". I think hot dogs fit into the fast food category as well.

A varied diet is very important for health of people and animals. I know if people eat too high a protein level they can get Kidney disease and gout, if you feed rabbits too high of a protein content they get sores on their feet. Ducks are the same way. The question is are fish the same way since they are a much smaller creature and are also cold blooded? In the fish world there seems to be the trash cans which eat anything and then the coral polyp eaters which only eat polyps from certain genus of corals. So who knows?

I have found that our little wet friends are able to tolerate only so much stress, once past that point they breakdown with some disease and die. By providing a nutritionally complete food, a glass box with natural type surroundings and stable water conditions we can keep their stress levels manageable. When one of those three goes out of wack then they tend to breakdown. A prime example is the Ick storms after a big heat wave or temperature fluctuation. IMHO the most important parameter is stable water conditions, then surroundings(which includes tankmates) and then food. If they have a low stress level then perhaps they may be better able to tolerate fluctuations when they happen?

The purpose of keeping our little wet friends is to admire their inherent beauty. By feeding the Pacifica Plankton the natural colours of our fish and corals are naturally brought out. With the immune boosting properties of the plankton and it's natural colour enhancing ability why would one not want to feed something so beneficial?
