Awesome, I love these guys. I want to get into the tank and hug them.
One suggestions - try adding some earthworms/nightcrawlers to his diet - shrimp, rather than being vitamin deficient, contains an enzyme that breaks down a certain vitamin, so even if you are doing your best to supplement, it's a poor choice as a staple for a growing boy. At least a few meals without shrimp every week would probably be best.

No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.
