cooked shrimp is no good, feed raw only... if you have white stuff on the sides of your tank, it could be planaria, which will go away in its own, just cut back on the amount of shrimp you feedm clean up any leftover bits in the tank, and make sure you keep up with water changes.

raw shrimp all the way. P's don't have stoves in the amazon.

when you cook something you denature the proteins, and a good amount of nutrients are "cooked" out. This denaturing process changes the way food is digested. P's don't digest cooked food as well as people.

That's right, food don't come cooked in the wild. Raw all the way.

Raw defrosted in the fridge is best...

raw is better, but it clouds water fast so dont over feed or leave it in there after feeding
