yes... I would freeze it or refrigerate it. What kind of shrimp? I recomend going to the grocery store and making your own food... buy raw shrimp, crab, fish, squid... finely chop them up, then freeze them in a declorinated water/vitamin suppliment in small ice cube trays (the smaller the better)... my fish love them.

If you mean frozen brine or mysis shrimp, then it will last a fairly long time if it is not thawed out and refrozen. i normally order my frozen food once/year to minimize shipping and maximize order size. I have not had a problem so far.

Sometimes, usuallly when I get in a new fish that is picky, I'll add it the first few weeks of their stay in quarentine...
