mysis

as i start my journey into culturing live foods: phyto,pods,mysis, etc. i’d love to see some of your tanks & get ideas as to how i could go about this. also what’s your favorite “live food” to culture? Thanks!

Okay. I'm just gonna fire off these questions because I have a ton of them, lol. Some backstory: I've kept freshwater fish for 26 years. I just got into saltwater in the summer of 2021 and now am on my 3rd (4th counting the quarantine) tank. Here goes so bear with me: 1. Any downside/upside...

I have several different varieties of hitchhiker micro-crustaceans inhabiting my macroalgae aquarium (Copepods, Amphipods, Munnid Isopods, Mysis). However, I am surprised just how prevalent the Mysis shrimp are. If I simply stare at a tiny section of my rockwork or Sea lettuce for 5 seconds, I...

What’s the difference? I know Mysis is freshwater and Mysid is saltwater but is there any nutritional difference? And which one is easier to culture?

I’ve only seen this twice in the past 2 months. At night maybe an hour after the lights go off, hundreds of baby mysis shrimp are floating in the water column. Is this some sort of hatching event or something?

Hi, my LFS has had a shipment of live mysis shrimp and I was wondering, if I was to add them to my tank would they be able to survive as a food source for my fish, obviously I expect them to get eaten but would some be able to survive and populate the tank as a longer lasting food source if I...

Hey everyone! I just got my first saltwater fish yesterday (a beautiful firefish goby) and tried feeding him omega one marine pellets this morning and he just sort of watched them float by and wasn't too interested so I gave him a pinch of mysis shrimp out of curiosity and I was surprised to see...

Whether its 2 cubes in 1 feeding or 1 cube in each feeding in a day?

Who here washes or rinses their food before feeding to eliminate excess nutrients? Has anyone seen any perceived positives or negatives? Curious. Thanks.

Once a week I feed my corals frozen Mysis. Today (for the first time), I noticed my Mandarin happily eating it as well. He is the only fish in my nano reef and he gets live reef stew every Friday (as do the corals obviously), so it's great to see him also eat the frozen mysis, Anyone that know...
