I'll need to ask about the brine shrimp things. They aren't completely brine shrimp though.
For further reference: The problem with adult brine shrimp is that they are basically protein bombs. They contain nothing but protein. No fibers, no vitamin, etc.
And considering the long intestinal tract of Mbuna it means that adult brine shrimp can start rotting in their bellies, which is one of the biggest causes for the worst disease of them all: Malawi bloat (als known als Tropheus bloat)...
