I am feeding a group of Damsels both flake and frozen brine shrimp. They seem to love it but I have read in several places there is no nutritional value to brine shrimp. Does anyone have any opinions on what would be best.
Are Frozen Brine Shrimp a good food source?

No frozen brine are the fishy equivalent of potato chips they provide very little in the way of nutritional value . If you raise them and feed them as hatched or feed them a balance diet that's a different story. Freshly hatched baby brine have quite a bit of nutrients left over from their yolks but, the adults don't. You'd probably be better off feeding mysis or other more complete food sources .
I'd try to feed them as wide a variety of foods as possible if you do they'll stay healthy and live a lot longer. I prefer frozen or freeze dried over flake fwiw.

Well, chopped raw sea foods are good ," shrimp , fish, squid,nori etc," don't puree it too much you don't want it to be a liquid. There are also numerous pre made frozen and freeze dried foods but, I like to use my own that way I know what my babies are geting. You can also suppliiment with food products like brewers yeast, hufa , etc.
Try for as wide a variety as possible there are all sorts of premade frozen and freeze dried foods out there.
