I plan on getting frozen mysis, along with New Life Spectrum Marine food, for my future clownfish/goby/gramma. How is the best way to feed these cubes of mysis?
Thank you!

Do you just try to pick off a small piece with tweezers?I don’t claim to know the best way but, I thaw mine in a small plastic shot glass and then direct feed my tank after it’s been thawed.
I use a bulb syringeDo you just try to pick off a small piece with tweezers?
I usually turn off my filtration pump, leave the power head on and scoop what I need out with my finger and just dump it in front of the power head. It swirls around for about 20 minutes before I turn filtration back on. When target feeding I use a turkey baster. Same process as regular feeding just targeted.Do you just try to pick off a small piece with tweezers?
I grab some tank water with a plastic cup, add Selcon or Sera vitamins, add the frozen and wait 5-10 minutes...swirl it around in the cup a bit and if the shrimp separate I know it's thawed and in it goes. My fish come right to me, it's gone in about 30 seconds.I plan on getting frozen mysis, along with New Life Spectrum Marine food, for my future clownfish/goby/gramma.

Awesome! Is it smart to thaw the whole cube? (Because then you stick it back in the freezer?)I grab some tank water with a plastic cup, add Selcon or Sera vitamins, add the frozen and wait 5-10 minutes...swirl it around in the cup a bit and if the shrimp separate I know it's thawed and in it goes.

I do the whole cube. Thaw out, feed, freeze and repeat until the cube is done.Awesome! Is it smart to thaw the whole cube? (Because then you stick it back in the freezer?)
I think he’s probably using the 1/2” cubes. They are individual cubes. If you have the large package you just break a chunk off and just thaw thatAwesome! Is it smart to thaw the whole cube? (Because then you stick it back in the freezer?)
Ok, thanks!I do the whole cube. Thaw out, feed, freeze and repeat until the cube is done.
I actually don’t have any yet. I plan to pick some up today. ;FacepalmI think he’s probably using the 1/2” cubes. They are individual cubes. If you have the large package you just break a chunk off and just thaw that
The package I get is about $8 bucks looks like an ice cube tray but with frozen shrimp and has lasted me several months....of course mines a 13.5 gallon so it depends on your demand of feeding how much you’ll use.Ok, thanks!
Are mysis cubes relatively inexpensive?
I actually don’t have any yet. I plan to pick some up today. ;Facepalm
I feed 3x a day:Awesome! Is it smart to thaw the whole cube? (Because then you stick it back in the freezer?)
Yes, all based on the needs of the tank. I actually just increased the portion of nori because 1/3 sheet would be gone in about 5 minutes...1/2 sheet lasts about 10, LOL .I feed once a day. Don’t have nearly as much livestock as you do. Mostly coral and a couple of nems.
