Adult brine shrimp are low in nutritional values.

While Mysis are able to provide quite good staple for most fishes.

But from what I observe is that fish prefer brine shrimp to mysis. Anybody can explain why is this so? Sorry ah silver tang borrow your thread ah.

Just like some of us prefer candy or sweets to regular meals.

BS are like treats to fishes.

However, if you really need to feed brine shrimp, Baby Brine Shrimps (BBS) hatched within 24hrs will be a better choice as they still have the egg-sac that will provide good nutrients.

Alternative is to enrich your BS with Selcon or Zoecon.

For Mysis, I prefer Piscine Energetics Mysis. According to their Site, PE Mysis are harvested from Fresh Water thus does not harbour parasites that will torment our livestocks.

Also, I find PE Mysis to be bigger and fatter as compared to the Hikkari Mysis commonly available.

Dun asked me where to get PE Mysis in Singapore cuz I have long stop feeding Mysis.

The last I bought them was from Reborn.
