do over
well my first batch of mysids is prety much wiped out and been replaced by thousands of jellyfish hydroids i'm not positive but i think they wer in the decaped brine i was freeding the mysids, i still have some of these eggs left and i plan to do a small expairiment to see for shure but i don't have time for that right now.
i have a new culture of 400 mysids from sachs wich is a better product by leaps and bounds than the previous one i bought, the water was clean and their was nothing but healthy live mysids in the bag except for the ones that wer being eaten and they may have been live as well
i am also starting with a new bottle of ez hatch decaped brine from brineshrimp direct wich also looks like a much better product than the one from ANF. it's alot more consentrated with alot more eggs for the money and looks alot cleaner before and after hatching(hopefuly no hydroids) the color is more orange before and bright florecent orange after hatching with no black and brown flecks like the old stuf did they also seem to hatch sooner.
for now the mysids are back in the 20 long while i drain the 40breeder and clean it well(like muriotic acid well!!) thel ill give the babbie seperator another try with some 800 micron mesh i got to replace the 1000m stuff on the lift tubes.
i still have hopes for this system to work, i can allready see a differance in how much longer the food lasts in the tank without the hydroids grabing them up, i'm prety shure my last culture was out compeeted for food and i wound up raising hydroids instead.
