No head and tail, of course :). I read somewhere that it benefits the aro if you include the shell. My aro is one year old but not sure about the size. I'm guessing 17-18 in. Varied diet right now he can easily swallow a 2.5" smelt stuffed w/ pellets and de-shelled shrimp. Is the shrimp thing true? Can he digest the shell? Thanks.

Yes i have also read some articles about feeding aros shrimp with shell on. i have fed my 26 inch aro some shrimp with shell on but i saw no changes and this was a while ago and hes perfectly fine.
 
your aro is more then big enough to handle shrimp with shell on. You can buy shrimp in different sizes also.
 
Alright! At least it'll save me the hassle of de-shelling it. Thanks again.
