Pacific oysters

[PeterErc]

Hello there,

I have been feeding blended, frozen pacific oysters for years. Not consistently, a couple times a week and most often less.

Found the nutritional values, and not sure how to state the question. I am wondering the effect they could have in terms of our tanks.
Say if fed enough would Triton pick up any of the values.
Would they benefit over bottled amino acids?
How many mg/l per gallon of trace elements, amino, etc.
Questions along those lines.
What do you think?

Thanks

One would need to compare them to other foods that you would feed as an alternative.

Foods in general are a large and underappreciated source of many elements.

Thanks, that makes sense. Who knows how New Life Spectrum compares and what nutritional values are lost in processing. Most amino solutions are proprietary blends. SeaChem reef plus lists the ingredients. I would never use that anyhow.
I don’t dose aminos or bottled supplements and will stick with feeding oyster. Unless there is something I am missing seems like a no brainer
Thanks again
