I used to rinse, but not any more. Now I simply let the frozen stuff thaw on a plastic tablespoon and drain off the excess, which is usually juice from brine shrimp, not the mysis shrimp. I feed a combo of both every evening. Here's a thought, although I'm guilty of not doing so myself.... read the packaging to see if there's any info there on ingredients besides the actual shrimp/brine shrimp/protein. It might even be that you are paying for extra nutrients that benefit your livestock & you could be sending them down the drain. Some folks pay an arm & leg for Selcon to soak their food in before feeding. It's not out of the realm of possibilities that the juice many of us so diligently rinse away contains no phosphates at all. How do we really know?
