    It's not mysis, as you found it at the seafood market and mysis is not a market kind of shrimp..... and it doesn't look like one. BUT, that really doesn't make a different, as it doesn't have to be mysis in particular to be awesome. Remember to mix it up with variety though!

    No, it's not krill and no, humans typically don't eat mysis.

    Krill is not your enemy, a non-varied diet is. I've been feeding mine krill supplementation for over 2 years now.

    ANY type of additional nutritional supplementation is awesome. Dry them out and then stick them in a bowl of "enrichment" and the liquid will be sucked right in.
