Frozen market shrimp from the grocery. Just cut it into pieces that they can actually eat and make sure its raw.

Try soaking the pellets in the brine shrimp juice for a little and than drop them in.

I only buy raw shrimp and boil it myself

buy shrimp from the grocery and feed it raw. Have not seen many Dats who wouldnt take shrimp.

Ok i will try soaking the pellets and buy some shrimp today.. but a bit of confusion..feeding raw seems like more natural for them..i think i will buy and feed raw..
