Are feeder shrimp (ghost shrimp?) ok as an occasional snack?
I put a few rosy red minnows in the tank, and Bowser chased them for a couple of minutes but quickly lost interest.
Perhaps the shrimp will be a little easier to catch?

thats the point in rosies, they are so fast it takes a lot of energy to catch them.
and they r ok on some occasions. depending on how ur tank is setup they might survive for a while

ghost shrimp are truly no different. They're not as swift as rosies, but they are pretty hard to see.

We have a shrimp hatchery. Would it be all right to set that up in the upper corner of the tank and they take 20 - 40 hours to hatch and then feed him those? We too just got Tut his first try of guppies. He absolutely loved them.

The faster the fish the better in my opinion. Gives them more exercise and a show to watch haha.
