Anyone have a preference on vitamin supplements to soak tilapia filets in before feeding?

alright well after a hiatus from the forum I would like to add an addendum to this post.

I don't have a reference to cite, but from what I understand, market shrimp does contain trace amounts of thiaminase, but not enough to ever be a problem even as a staple part of a fishes diet. That means it's safe to continue feeding shrimp as a staple part of the diet.

That should clarify some previous comments.

to the best of my knowledge fresh fish are just "flash frozen" in temperates under -40 degrees and no preservatives is used. just kept on ice. do you have any info that supports the use of preservatives?
