I wouldn't risk trying to feed him frozen shrimp meant for human consumption. The preservatives may be a problem for the monitor.

Thanks. Also what brand is the organic brand that you would recommend? Or will pretty much any organic brand work?

There is no branding, I buy it at a seafood counter off the shaved ice on display. (BTW $11 a pound, oops)
