Default Mysis and Glass Shrimp

Hi guys, i would like to find out your input on mysis and glass shrimp.

Which is more nutritious for marine fishes?

I doubt they are the same am i right?

And also, where can i get mysis?

Thanks!

Glass shrimp are those transparent freshwater shrimp typically sold as feeders at freshwater LFS.

Mysis is usually sold in frozen cubes. An example would be Hikari Mysis shrimp. There are also other brands like PE Mysis. Mysis shrimp would be the more nutritious of the two. I usually get my supply of mysis(Hikari brand) from Aquamarin.

Thanks for the clarification! Does sg allows live mysis? Or only frozen?

So far I have not seen any LFS carry live mysis yet..
If you stay in WEST, Polyart at Blk328 does carry the Hikari mysis shrimps.

Ooh as i mean frozen mysis in the above 2 lfs. As for live mysis, seems hard to get. Will check out those marine farms and see if they sell. If they do, i'll post and update for all to know.
