When I got mine it was under a inch it took to bloodworms and pellets right away but it's about 3 1/2 now and eats anything. It's in a tank with a pr of kribs, Odessa barbs, zigzag eel, whiptail catfish, cories and zebra pleco. I haven't had any problems with aggression and all seem to get along fine.
Depends an what type of shrimp pellet. I use to feed mine wardly shrimp pellets and im pretty sure it made him sick. I feed hikari sinking carnivore pellets now.
