I start feeding my 2 RES which is around 3-4 inches big some shrimps, and they love it, at the pet shop, they sell baby shrimp around 2CM long, and big 1 around 1.5 inches, I just wanna know bigger shrimp or baby shrimp is better for feeding? which is better for my RES?
Frozen or dried, it doesn't matter if they're big or small, as long as you only give a serving size (about head size) at a time.
Live shrimp, you need to be a little bit careful. Some of the larger shrimp have claws, and you wouldn't want it to injure your turtles. For live shrimp, I'd probably go for the baby ones.

The basic thought that comes to my mind is, the bigger the shrimp, the more that is in it. I would feed baby ones to prevent overfeeding.
