My local university called asking for help in locating a food source of live food for hatching octopus- They need mysis sized shrimps. (Brine are too small)I have given some of mine from my reef tank to get them started as well as some red Iron Horse shrimp that I feed seahorses but they are needing a much larger amount than I have or that they can grow. (They have gotten mysis from Inland aquatics to propagate and grow out but don't have that going well enough yet for consumption.) Does anyone know of a source that has live mysis and sells it in fairly large quantities? Apparently the babies will only eat live food for the first several months. We are also going to try ghost shrimp but again need larger quatities than available at our LFS. Thanks for any input.
