Guys which is better and why from a nutritional standpoint ?
 
I think I've read somewhere that freeze dried stuff loses some nutritional value during manufacture.
I could be wrong though.

I have heard this as well. All I know is that my fish eat both with Gusto. I have heard of people soaking the Freeze Dried in a vitamin Supplement before feeding them to their fish.
 
I started using FDK when I saw a big can of it under a tank in one of Guapote Mel's videos. He seems to feed lots of it judging by the size of the cans he buys, so I think it's pretty good. Not real scientific, but that's what I"m going with. I buy the big Tetra cans from Amazon. I also have bought the Antarctic Superba Krill freeze dried from Ken's fish food, and from Jehmco. That stuff is very high quality, pungent, slightly oily, gotta be good for fish. I just go with freeze dried, I hate frozen foods.

I feed NLS every day or two, and FDK 1-2 times a week. And since I have Vieja, I put a zucchini or romaine lettuce in the tank every couple weeks, too. Reading what RD says, I'm about to get some unsalted kelp from the chinese grocery, or nori seaweed, but I digress...
 
Ounce for ounce freeze dried is more nutrient dense due to the fact that water has no nutritional value, and frozen is mostly comprised of water. (70-80%)

.... but that doesn't necessarily equate to FD being better.
 
Cool thanks guys. Been feeding my argentea the seaweed who is really picky and he loves the stuff.

Seems like my fish like frozen better just wanted to see if there was a big difference. I dont feed it to my cichlids much (vieja's and pearsei) but i noticed that they love it when they do get it
