Mysid cultures, onyone doig it?

Anyone growing out Mysid for feeding their livestock?

I am looking at growing Brine Shrimp and Mysid to feed my display tank and my Farm setup. Reading about them, it does not seem that difficult, but I wanted more input.

Thanks

I believe they are cannibalistic on newly hatched mysid. This could make it difficult for creating large cultures.

You can keep a culture in your prop system, makes it all to easy.

Feeding the prop sytem with rotifers or even pulverised fish / shrimp feeds the mysid poulations as well as the benifit corals get.

Our systems are teeming with them the less fed the system the lower the mysid population.

They are prolific breeders they are always berried, so heaps of zooplankton is generated.
