Anyone order from these guys? I'm trying to find live mysis shrimp and they are all I can find?

Indicators for WET Testing: Mysid Shrimp (Americamysis bahia), Ceriodaphnia dubia, Daphnia magna, Cyprinella leedsi, Pimephales promelas, and Menidia beryllina

Anyone know another place that offers them, hopefully cheaper?

Welcome to Reef Nutrition has live mysis, as does Aquatic Eco-Systems: Aquaculture Supplies - Mysid Shrimp. I've ordered from both before. Compare prices!

Catherine,

My LFS carries the mysis from reef nutrition. I've bought a 2 jars of them and couldn't be happier. They're filled with adult, juvenils and adults with eggs. I put them in my fuge and now my population has easily tripled in a month. I have lots of them in my DT now.

 
Dave I think I've caught the SPS fever!

WOAH, Reef Nutrition's mysid shrimp are 101.00 for one 250 count container? What are the little things dipped in GOLD?

Why do these bugs cost so much?

That's crazy! I pay $9.99 at my LFS for a small jar. It says approx. 20 shrimp per jar. Trust me, there is a lot more than 20 per jar. I probably have over a hundred in the fuge and just as many in the DT.

Maybe Dave gets close to 250? He did say there's a LOT more than 20 in each jar.

Haha...not quite 250. There's probably around 50 or so in the small jars. I might have 250 total in my system now.
