Any live food sources to culture in my DT while it goes fallow?

[Pimba]

Wondering if i could culture any live food sources while I do a fallow period, so when i return fish to my DT there's probably an enough population to survive with fish?

I have thought of mysis shrimp; how does that sound? (tank is a RSR 350)

Pods are always good and if you have a fuge or display algae they will maintain a population

I already have copepods so looking for something else as live food for tangs mainly.

Tangs (juvi size) won't eat amphipods I guess?

amphipods typically are inferior to Copepods

What do you think of growing mysis shrimp in the DT when there's no fish. Will I be able to have s sustainable population within say 4 weeks?

They will get eaten. Unlike pods they cannot hide and breed as well, IMO just get tiger pods, feed pods more (phyto) or even grow some algae
