Is it safe to feed my betta fish expired shrimp as a treat?

Question

I'm not sure if this can be considered a "vet question," but I heard it was ok to feed your betta fish shrimp. If this is true, I was wanting to give him a tiny tiny bit but our shrimp was expired. Can he still have it? Thank you! Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Male | 5 months and 9 days old

You can feed him shrimp, even expired ones The problem with the expired shrimp is that likely there are no more vitamins in those, so it would not be a good permanent food. Feed him unexpired food and give a shrimp or two for a treat.
