Can anyone tell me how to culture mysis shrimp?

I researched it a while ago and decided against it. It's pretty involved and you need to raise a LOT of baby brine shrimp to feed the mysids. To do on any kind of scale you need a lot of extra 10 gallon aquariums and filters since they're cannabalistic and keep eachothers numbers low if not separated.

Someone here with seahorses probably has done it...I'll wait for them to chime in.

I have baby brine hatchery set up in five gallon bucket for lice food source for the jellyfish. Culturing brine is really easy we learned fast when we had dwarf seahorses. Amazing little creatures.

Mysis culture is involved, there is some info on the web.. I believe they are cannibals and that is why they are so hard. You have to have away of separating the young from the older.. I have tried and it is not easy.
