Encourages Natural Behavior: Feeding live foods helps encourage natural foraging and hunting instincts in fish and shrimp. This not only makes life in captivity more stimulating but also keeps your pets physically active and mentally engaged.
Improved Digestion: Live foods are easily digestible and can be more beneficial for the digestive systems of young and sensitive fish, reducing the risk of blockages and other health issues associated with processed foods.
