    So anyone know a good brand of frozen mysis? Just curious because I heard they were better then frozen brine so I'd like to try it out and feed my fish with some.

    PE MYSIS is pretty solid brand. I just picked up the Hikari Brand Mysis, they are a little smaller than the PE mysis, great for smaller fish.

    When the PE mysis is harvested from the glacial lakes in canada they have a stomach full of photoplankton and algae. that will also add beneficial nutrition to your little friends :p

    I primarily use PE Mysis. It's a lot higher in HUFAs. However, I have Hikari as well because of the size for fish with small mouths.

    I have both. I feed the Hikari in the morning because it seems "cleaner" (the cube is clear without a lot of stuff clouding the water when you thaw it out) and I don't have time in the morning to filter all that out. They seem to like the PE Mysis better, which gets rotated in for evening feedings. The Hikari does seem smaller.

    Personally, I used to love feeding frozen mysis PE mysis, Hikari and H2O Life. All were excelent forms of mysis. Since I like to have anthias and flasher wrasses feeding mysis and pods became a necessity. I have always loved Reef Nutrition foors and when they came out with Mysis Feast I was all over it. I don't think I will ever go back to frozen mysis again. To me, it was the best thing to happen to mysis ever. I no longer have to thaw cubes, and can add as much or as little as I want!
