Raising Live Feeder Shrimp

[Shagsbeard]

I know about brine shrimp hatching... that's pretty easy to do. Does anyone here raise larger feeder shrimp like mysis or white shrimp? If so, is there a reference for how to go about setting myself up with a breeding system?

There is a few articles and reference materials on culturing Mysid Shrimp in the Fish Breeding Forum with Dr. Frank Marini. FWIW, it requires LOTS of floor space in order to culture a fair amount of food. Probably not do-able for most private aquarists.

Here's a thread from the Fish Breeding Forum (http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=86) that has lots of links to culturing various live foods. Be forewarned... it is a seven page thread (at the time of this posting).
