The Hikari freeze-dried foods that are just an ingredient and a couple of vitamins are definitely safe and a great source of protein. (Bloodworms, krill, brine shrimp, etc.) The regular fish foods (flakes, pellets) have a lot of junk in them and shouldn't be used as a standard diet. My hermits wouldn't even touch the crab food they make. (Offered it as a treat.)

They should be able to eat the brine shrimp eggs, but check to make sure there isn't a lot of salt or preservatives!
