pallet is nice and clean and won't stink the water

frozen cubes of beef heart/liver & shrimp is nice if you have a freezer next to your fish tank

i read that you shouldnt feed fish beef proteins, or proteins that come from land animals for that matter because they contain organisms ie bacteria that fish did not evolve alongside and therefore it may affect them differently than if another land animal was eating it.

think of all the NA natives that were wiped out by diseases we carried that we received - and received immunity to after living in close proximity to our animals for many many generations, i dont wanna do that to my fish :P
