Mysid shrimp

[Damsel13]

Anyone know where I could get some of these saltwater guys? I haven't found any frozen only mysis but I think I might have some live ones in my tank. Either that or I was dreaming the other night when checking with the flashlight . I haven't seen any for a couple of nights. :| do they come on LR?

Yep they’re a common hitchhiker. You might not see them at every glance. They’re pretty elusive especially when there’s fish in the same tank... I guess that makes them kinda nervous. :lol:

Unless you've got something in your tank that's eating them pretty regularly, you probably have TONS of Mysid Shrimp. Well, as long as you've got a lot of live rock. If you've got a refugium, you've definitely got a lot. I've got a HOB CPR aquafuge with about 4" of live sand and filled with chaeto. At any time, I can look in there and see hundreds.

If you think your fish have totally decimated your mysis population then the only place I know of online that offers mysis shrimp is Inland Aquatics. Look under starter kits for Starter Kit, Mysis/Gammarus.
FWIW... I’ve thought my population was totally annihilated a couple of times and a month or so later I catch a glimpse of one. Believe me, their very good at hiding.

Thanks, bet I still have them. I have a HOB CPR with Cheato too and I know there are lots of pods in there. I feel reasured .
