I've been able to get my peacock on to table shrimp! So happy! I had a spare 30 I was keeping feeders in to make sure they were ok before feeding. When the last one was eaten I bought no more. Thawed out some shrimp to see what would happen and he jumped at it like it was a feeder!
My 4 inch ocell is eating table shrimp!

I lost two PBass because I was not cutting them up first. Shrimp are a little more dense than a feeder of the same size and the PBass will not be able to digest them before they get backed up and die.
I feed them large shrimp because my other fish never had a problem with them. After that I just cut them up into 3-4 chunks, tail included, and haven't had the problem since. My PBass are now large enough to handle a full large shrimp but I won't take that chance again.

I thaw them in warm water, peel the shell off and cut them into chunks big enough for my lil oscars and the peacock bass.

When they get bigger you should feed them the shell and tail, lots of good vitamins and minerals for the fish.
