mysis shrimp

hi All, Got a slight problem - I've recently started feeding my LPS corals mysis shrimp. However, the problem is, whenever I target feed them my fireshrimp comes along and eats everything right out of their mouth (literally). Any tips on how to stop this?

This thought emerged after I saw my mushroom digest an extract of reef roids ... and I would like to know more ... In general, how can you tell if your corals is digesting on what you've given them? i.e. I can tell for Goni, if each individual polyp is closing once target fed, means they are...

My Seahorses before I had them had only ever been feed on frozen brine shrimp. If I feed them this I will see them eat, however I am wanting to take them off brine shrimp onto Mysis being better for them, but they don't seem to be eating the Mysis shrimp, I never see them take it. Any...

How effective is this Julian's Thing Sprung to feed corals? How many of you guys uses this thing? What is your thought? Does this thing need a replacement every now and then i.e. the tips? or is it just like Refractometer, buy once, treat it right and you don't have to ever need to replace...

Hey everyone, (first post) love the forum. I just had a quick question regarding the temperature of frozen food. I work 2 days on 2 days off so while I'm standing duty I have my girl friend feeding my fish. I prepare 2 cubes (hikari mysis and a spirulina brine mix) in a Pyrex with tank water. I...

Hello. Does anybody have any success with growing mysis shrimp in their refugium, or maybe in the main tank ? Thanks !

Hey guys I have a 55 gallon tank it's a FOWLR right now, I have a thread fun butterfly a white sand sifting goby 3 green Chromis and a long nose hawkfish I'm having a problem feeding the hawk fish because it only eats frozen mysis shrimp that I put in. All the other fish eat flakes and stuff but...

So I got this fish 5 days ago. I fed the tank the day after and the leaf fish ate one live and one dead gut loaded (with cyclopleeze) ghost shrimp. I have tried to feed him ghost shrimp every night now but he doesn't even know they are there. Sometimes they will just sit on him and he doesn't...

I would like to know how you guys rinse/store your frozen food. Basically I find it very tedious to strain my frozen food before I feed to get out all the excess junk in the frozen food. Doing this 2 or 3 times a day is time consuming compared to simple flake food. I may be making it harder...

Hey all, I acquired the final fish of my 350 gallon system last Wednesday, a gorgeous Achilles Tang. This fish was acquired healthy and active. Reared in a tank with several other tangs, the Achilles specimen I have co-exists peacefully with 4 other tangs, all of different Genera. There is a...

I need to go get the stuff this week for blender mush. I will buy it fresh and then have to freeze it here at my house till the night of the meeting. I need to know what you all want in it. I am going to buy some dry phyto and Cyclopeeze for the mix (a couple bars should be enough for everyone)...

Ok, I found some more unknown stuff. I'm guessing this first thing is a "flatworm" but I am not sure. Also I think the other thing is a baby shrimp, but is he a peppermint, because that is all I have in the tank that I know of? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank-you. Joe

I noticed today that my juv. Imperator angel has holes on its face, 2 right be the mouth on either side, and a bunch of little ones between the eyes. My yellow tang also has mild HLLE, but that was like a month ago and hasnt worsened. I read that it is probably one of 3 things....bad water...

Should the foam head die down in my skimmer when I feed or blow the rocks off???? If it shouldn't, what is the cause??? I'm so flippin confused.

Hello, everyone! I'm new here and didn't see a newcomer's thread so I'll use this to introduce myself and my tank. I'm Barb, and my tank had LR put in on April 21, 2008. It's already loaded with corals. I've found I have no patience whatsoever, but I'm working on that! I live in Ohio, have four...
