Mysis breeding and in the DT

[Hiker4twenty]

Last night I was looking around with the red light and saw lots of mysis shrimp running around the DT. Some were full size and some were very tiny juveniles. :bounce: I put some in my fuge about a month ago and they finally made it into the DT. Hopefully my fish are eating them!

Cool, where you get live Mysis?

 

[Hiker4twenty]

My LFS sells them. They're adults, juveniles and adults with eggs. They come in a little jar with crushed coral and a small piece of LR. $10 for about 30+. I bought 2 jars and now my population has easily trippled, most of which are in my fuge.

Cool. Pictures?

I can try to get pictures. My camera doesn't do macro that well and they move super fast around the rubble.

Hi Mike....yes, I'm getting them at Something Fishy. They keep them right on the counter next to the register. They don't always have them. Whenever I see them there I like to pick up a jar.

Update on the mysis breeding. I have thousands of little tiny shrimp that hide in the LR. I was blown away when I saw how many there were last night.

The live shrimp are good for picky eaters or to get a new fish going.
