Mysid or Brine Shrimp Reproduction.

Just wondering if these guys multiply if you throw them into the cheato in your fuge just like pods do? Also would dosing phyto or cyclopeeze help?

If you have males & females they do!

lol thanks leslie, i figured if i bought 50 or so and throw them in the fuge i would get some of each, just wondering if the fry would live, but i guess they will, thanks.

You'll probably need to feed Artemia some phytoplankton...

Mysids will survive well on their own in a fuge, but brine usually won't make it. Romunov is correct, brine shrimp will need phytoplankton.

Ok thanks guys. I normally dose my tank with Kent Phytoplankton, and i was always wondering how this stuff compared to DT's and if it was even worth buying?
