Shrimp are scavengers, feeding on tiny particles of plant and animal matter. When still small, shrimp feed on such articles that float past them, but older shrimp will actively forage for food in the sand and rock crevices of water, using their excellent sense of smell to find food. They do not have noses, but use the flexible antennae on their heads to smell. Some species of shrimp are active hunters, finding their food the same way.

you cant because it eats microscopic stuff

Actually you can feed them standard flake food, algae wafers, blanched green veggies or specialized pellets. They will break these up as they are feeding.

Shrimp digest their food using acids. They eat particles that float by them while they are on the bottom of the ocean's floor.
