Default Are small frozen shrimps good?

aloha everyone,
I just moved back to indonesia from hawaii and just getting started to join in on the hobby since i got myself a small super-red about 4 months old (kinda cute) but I was a bit worried about what to feed it, they say that fresh water shrimps are the best source for protein.
i gave it those small lil' white shrimps and that boy can really eat! however.. those lil' dudes wont last long, AKA they rest in peace in a single day, plus they make the tank where i put 'em smell like crap
so i decided to give my super-red some frozen shrimps, but they are only available in small sizes, which means when they melt, they are too small and sometimes stay at the bottom.
so whats the best way to keep your live shrimp stocks alive, or if frozen is recommended, whats the best tip?

sorry if i ask too much, im still new at this
