Specs on the Cyclops isnt avaiable from them they do their Cyclops just like PE Mysis no fillers like water or anything

I get that SFB is SanFrancisco Bay but what is PE?

PE = Piscine Energetics Inc.

Try this link...

Piscine Energetics Inc - PE MYSIS - fresh water shrimp

and you can get it MANY places (including from Jack I believe) online.

When I get the Nori from the LFS it is dried like in the grocery. The stuff I get from the LFS holds together much better than the suff from the grocery. The tangs eat it so quickly that it is not a real problem but the stuff I am getting from the grocery will only stay on the clip for a couple of minutes where the stuff from the lfs holds together much longer.
Also on the PE mysis I am getting confused. My lfs convinced me to switch for the reasons Jack stated and to me it just looks a lot better as well. My husband hates it. He says it is too big for the smaller fish. Matt has advised me not to use the PE for the seahorses since it is fresh water but I believe the other is as well.
I am getting very mysis confused.

Mysis Confusion.... very bad thing

AQTCJAK · 01-09-2008, 03:07 PM

I see the confusion MYSIS is fresh water MYSID salt water

BigAl07 · 01-09-2008, 03:17 PM

But is there a "SW Food" related difference?

AQTCJAK · 01-09-2008, 03:32 PM

none @ all MYSIS is higher in protien than MYSID

lcstorc · 01-09-2008, 03:43 PM

In Lebecca's feeding thread she says to avoid freshwater species and only use salt but I have never seen mysid for sale. It is always labeled Mysis on whichever brand I have bought. Is there a readily available mysid shrimp?

panmanmatt · 01-09-2008, 03:46 PM

Hikari brand is mysid bahia, the saltwater shrimp.

Yes, fresh and saltwater fish/shrimp contain different fatty acids. SW fish have a difficult time breaking down the FW fatty acids. At least that is my understanding of it.

AQTCJAK · 01-09-2008, 03:47 PM

you can by live mysid

XBwlr · 01-09-2008, 07:45 PM

I've read that you should only use a "non-oily whitefish".

So, salmon and tuna are alright to use?

lcstorc · 01-09-2008, 08:03 PM

My fish didn't like the salmon. Not sure if it means anything or if it is just a preference thing. I know others that use salmon just fine.
