Now they are not interested in the flake food. They sometimes just look at it and let it just float to the bottom. But when I feed the shrimp, it's like a frenzy. Is this normal? Is a diet of just shrimp detrimental to their health? How can I break them of this habit?

Try it out once and see if it works. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
