Default can i feed my blue lobster a dead fish?

Would it be unsafe for my lobster to consume a recently passed dwarf sucker? its not from the same tank as the lobster and is currently in my freezer. he died before i took him out of the tank and put him in the freezer.

I wouldn't. No need to, risk of introducing something to the tank.

The puffer may have died of some kind of disease and it would pass it on to whatever eats it.

likely there is not a big risk but I probably wouldn't just in case. If you want to give him a treat you could cut a small amount off a fresh or frozen fish for human consumption, just don't overdue it cus it will make a mess of the tank.

I would not. Like listed in previous posts you never know what the cause f death was for the fish. I'd say it's too risky.
