I've often read and heard that Brine Shrimp is more like "candy" with little nutrition for our fish. Mysis shrimp are supposed to be much better.
After looking at the nutrition label on the Mysis and Brine shrimp I just bought, I'm a bit confused.
Frankly, there's virtually no difference in nutritional value:
So, if Brine is a poor nutritional food -- I can't see Mysis being that much better.
Any suggestions on a more robust food for my fish? I'm feeding 2 clowns, 3 cardinals, 1 royal gramma, and 1 coral beauty. All are relatively small and large size foods don't work well for them.

Frankly, there's virtually no difference in nutritional value:
- Brine = 4.0% crude protein
- Mysis = 4.2% crude protein
