News on my Nano


I awoke this am to find hundreds of tiny pink shrimp in the tank. Assuming they are mysis shrimp, what do I feed them? I put in a little frozen brine, which are 10 times bigger than they are. I read that peppermint shrimp babies cling onto very large food sources. I also added some phytoplankton. I have brine shrimp eggs that wont hatch until tomorrow but they are a much better size (teeny,tiny) for the mysis. I dont have any type of filter going so that wont be a problem. But Id sure like to keep them alive.

Suggestions????

Nicole,

Phtyoplankton. You can buy Dt's Phytoplankton, or if you are near me I can give you some of my cultured Phytoplankton. Unfortunatly that is the only filter type foods that may work. I am wondeering if Zoe, or Coral Vite will work but I know that Kent's Phytoplex will work. (However it is a "dead" phyto. I prefer live )
I feed phyto to my brine shrimp to enrich them as well.

Hope to help

Ray

I love discovering little "creechies" in my tank. Found a bristle worm in my tank recently and a small white starfish looking thing.



I can sit and stare into my nano for hours!
