Whenever I go near my tank my fire shrimp will come out begging for food. I feed him a small fish food pellet every day when I feed my clown fish. Do I need to feed him more or something else?.

Ok I’ll look into getting some mysis thanks.I usually feed my cleaner shrimp a couple pieces of mysis or brine a day. So a small food pellet seems a bit too little unless the shrimp is picking up some leftover food as well.
It’s just moulted and seems happy otherwiseI directly feed my shrimp twice a week with various things, other than that I let them pick up the scraps after feeding the fish. My shrimp are always doing well and molting regularly with this feeding schedules. They are great scavengers, let them do some work keeping your tank a little cleaner.
I tried to give it a bigger algae biscuit but it just drops them on the floor lol.You might need to give it more pellets at a time. They're scavengers, yes, but they eat mostly discarded food, so they won't get anything to eat unless there's food going uneaten by your other critters.
That said, they do beg a lot, even when fed well.
