uh oh....you're gonna hate me but....flatpacks! LOL! Seriously,the flatpack of mysis are easier to crush. As for making them take it.... Mine just do, I don't have to talk them into it

The Mysis shrimp I got are in cubes (Hikari). As for size, I don't see them being too big for my guys but many of them aren't too interested in eating them, Lol. Some will, but others completely leave them alone after trying one and spitting it out. So I can't say Mysis are a hit in my house. But I'll keep trying them. If nothing else the female growout tank will eat them...with the competition, they eat ANYTHING I put in the tank including HBH Betta Bites, haha.

Just chop them up some...I chop them up and use a toothpick to feed them to my bettas.
