This is were I got my shrimpys. $20 including shipping. They also have plankton and other critters.

Finally got my Mysid shrimp (about 100 of them). Cute little devils, should be a good food source for my fish, corals, etc. How exciting! :lol:

fyrefish,
I ordered from Reed Mariculture about 1 1/2 yrs ago and I have tons of mysids in my tank. Enough so that if I when I want to introduce them into a new or different tank all I have to do is move one rock. I was very pleased and you will be too.

Pictures Sally, I need pictures

They are very tough little boogers to get a picture of with a crappy camera! I hope this is a good enough image (probably not! :? )

I ordered many mysids when I began breeding cuttlefish. I was ordering 1000 at a time. The ones from Reed were superior quality from those of Sachs. Sachs does priority mail which can take three days, Reed does overnight so perhaps that is the difference I saw. I would lose 50% from Sachs within a day, and almost none from Reed.

Do they (Sachs) use breathable bags as well?

 

[fyrefysh]

I am not sure, but at least 90% of the shrimp were still alive and kickin'. I also ordered some amphipods that were 90% still alive. After acclimation and 1 hr of dripping. I put everything in my refugium and they seemed to be fine. I also found out that my Firefish LOVES to eat them! :lol:

Did it have "Kordon Breathable Bag" written in blue ink all over it? Did it feel weird, like rubber, rather then smooth crinkly plastic?

No breathing bag when I ordered from Sachs - I could be wrong!

 

[fyrefysh]

Nope, it was a standard plastic bag, just like from the LFS.
