Where did this statement come from, what's the basis to this statement. I was just this week, on this board, ask this question. I saw a popular youtube on anglers today, and the 1st statement on feeding was "ghost shrimp don't have nutritional value". I'll let you decide for yourself, but as I far as I am concerned, this is just another one of those statements repeated over and over, with absolutely no knowledge. Personally I have had certain predators for many years on as much as 70% or even more of their diet being ghost shrimp.
Let's take a look, you would think shrimp are shrimp, right. Check out health sites for their verdict of the nutritional value of shrimp that we eat. Here's what you will find; a good amount of protein, B3 and B12, vit D, vit E, mg, zinc, and other nutrients and antioxidants including fatty acids containing omega 3 and 6. Add the shells in and you have ca, more protein and amino acids as well as other trace elements. Keep a tank and feed them a quality pellet food, as we are and our ghosties are, what we eat. Anytime you scoop a few up, you'll see the little pellets in their bellies for an added boost.
I don't know about you, but I think ghosties are a great staple for our predators.
