Shrimp as Food Question

Almost any online supplier has it, Foster's & Smith etc.

just my 2 cents. feeding your fish crustaceans(shrimp,crabs,crayfish) is an excellent way to enhance coloration, however the coloration is promoted by the nutrients found within the shells of crustaceans, so feeding shrimp without the shell can be kinda' counter productive if your looking for better coloration.

dont worry about the size of shrimp pieces and if the fish is breathing fast during a nice feeding. Fish are amazing eater and can fit a disgusting amount of food in there mouth. I rarely hear about fish dieing from choking, though its possible, but HIGHLY un likely and ur dempsys im sure can manage to eat the size they want by ripping it apart.

i thought fish cant choke, they breathe through gills so a piece of food lodged in there throat wouldnt effect there breathing. I still cut off the tails though.
