my little IT, 2", is eating well, mostly freeze dried krill, frozen blood worms, and frozen brine shrimp. i've seen him take one or two small shrimp pellets. i was wanting to try shrimp from the store but are the small little cooked salad shrimp ok? i worry that the krill pieces he's taking might be a little too big and was gonna try chopping up the shrimp. he seems to be getting fatter though
