alright so, i bought some frozen shrimp and tried feeding it to them, they both took a piece but didnt eat it
should i just keep them on live food?

I feed mine shrimp from shrimp rings from the grocery store. Cheap & large.

they are little speckled morays about 5 -6" long and so far they have eaten feeder goldfish and had no interest in shrimp frozen

To get my baby zebra moray to eat I had to wiggle a piece of raw tiger prawn by his nose using tongs. Some morays will eat live clams but I'm not sure about yours. I wouldn't rely on feeder goldfish, too little nutritional value.
