I have lots of pods in my tank. Copepods, Isopods, amphipods, absolutely packed into my rocks and sandbed. At night and feeding time the rocks are really alive and during the day the glass is covered in "sugar". I want to add to this mix of fun fish snacks with live mysids and I'm wondering where is the best place to get a starter culture. I am not interested in them as a recurring order to feed any particular fish, just want a jar I can pour into my fuge and display and hope for the best. If it doesn't work out, oh well.

I know of two online stores that offer live Mysid shrimp:
Aquaculture Nursery Farms - Geared towards hobbyists
MBL Aquaculture - Geared towards hobbyists, public aquaria, and research

My Mysid shrimp have been readily breeding and multiplying for months in my refugium, so I would not be too concerned about them all dying off.
 

Set it and forget it: Do you change your aquascape as your corals grow?
