I have some frozen shrimp and I'm wondering if I could feed it to my oscars?

I use frozen cooked shrimp to feed my silver dollars and pleco. There is a bit of controversy about a preservative that is used, if I remember correctly. But then again we eat it so... scratch

I guess it does not bother me since I eat it I feed it.

I'm not sure if the stuff I have is cooked or not. I don't eat shrimp.

The freezing kills any bad stuff so even if raw it is safe. On some of the website they refer to this as "market shrimp". As in super market.

I'll check out what I have. I have heard of people feeding oscar's chicken to but people were talking about it on oscarfishlover and it looks like a bad idea.
