A note concerning pre-packaged frozen fish

No, I don't but I am going to buy some this week. (Supplements) And I will be expanding his diet/feeding times. Thanks for the advi, plus, I noticed my fish packaging did not contain any info on the preservative content.....Either it has none, or it doesn't say.

I also buy fresh fish and freeze it, Mike.

That's no guarantee. I can buy farmed Steelhead "fresh" but they add artificial color to make the meat pink so it mimics salmon. Even "fresh" fish can be treated with harmful substances before you buy it. However, according to FDA regulations, they must make that fact public but they don't have to make it obvious and easy to find.

They must put it in the ingredients label. That's the law. If it says anything but fish fillet and water in the ingredients, don't buy it.

The substance is generally the same substance wild fish would get through their diet. It's harmless.

I figured it probably was harmless. However, after feeding snakes heavily on that steelhead, I had two snakes develop tremors. One died, the other eventually recovered. Don't know if it was mercury, coloring, or what, but I quit using just to be safe.
