    I couldn't pass up taking this photo. It is my Blue Ricordia chomping down on a Hikari Mysis. It took out the tail first, you can see the head and eyeballs remaining. How cool looking is that?! :)

    I just take a small glass, fill it with tank water and let half a cube of mysis thaw in it. Take a syringe from one of your testing kits or a small one will do, suck up the liquid cocktail and push it close to their mouths a couple times. Be sure to wait for their mouth to be extended before doing it otherwise it will most likely go to the fish instead.

    Here is another. This is of my candy cane who didn't look to be doing too good. At night its tentacles come out and I fed it some mysis too. You can see he is pretty full today as he is bloated to all heck. Since my powershot sucks I provided a zoom in and a macro shot.
