    we found a pistol shrimp on the beach yesterday and we are keeping him in a small aquarium. What should we feed him. Maybe some veggies or meat? We don't have fish food with us.

    Here's a pic of him. Oh we are on Folly Beach in Sc.

    When are you going to be around some fish food? They can go days w/o food.
