Careful with feeding your fish beef, excessive long term use can add stress to your fish's digestive tract and kidneys, thus lowering resistance to disease and shortening its lifespan.

Yeah,I definitely won't be giving my fish any beef...for a number of reasons.The swai,I understand is actually iridescent shark or a close relative,farm raised of course.I will be trying it on my armatus and a few of my dats.

Can you tell if it is flaky or not?I used to give my fish whiting but all kinds of bits and particles of the flesh would come out of the fishes gills when they'd eat it.It was too messy and hoping that this swai is not like that.<br>
 
I don´t know what Swai is but I´ve fed my fish Basa, which is Pangasius catfish from Vietnam. I´m sure that if swai is ID shark then its definately Pangasius. so must be the same thing. My fish loved it, especially the Bichir. Prawns are also good, lots of protein and promote good colouration.

Of course all meats should be fed in moderation
