DaMan, Just curious, but guessing that you are currently in California, right?
How long have you been using Reed Mariculture products?

I'm tearing down all of my cultures actually, but thank you. That was avery nice offer. Selling most of the stuff off. We're moving to Oregonin a few months and I just don't want to haul everything.

Hopefully the various members I have sent things to for free over theyears will repay the favors when I get myself restablished. My LFS hasalready promised to ship me everything free of charge when I get upthat as a thanks for all the help I have given them. It is nice to findsuch a great store. There even going to hold my livestock for me andthen ship. Truly wonderful people.

I did not get them from them. They are very easy to culture and my dwarf seahorses love them! Do you want some? I really do have millions!]]> Sat, 29 Apr 2006 16:39:07 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11908&PID=110947&title=raising-shrimp#110947 <![CDATA[raising shrimp : I almost ordered a batch of those....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11908&PID=110940&title=raising-shrimp#110940 Author: Kevin F

I almost ordered a batch of those. they had the special like 4 bottlesfor $60. I almost took advantage of it. I know a couple of localreefers, none members here though, that wanted to split in order but itfell through.

What is your experience with them. Are you happy with them?

O.K. if you want a link I'll give you one.

It's a great food for copepods and shrimp fry. I have the most luckwith mysids. They are live bearing shrimp, and raise to feeding size inabout 4 weeks.

I got one of those pool filter baskets and a pool net. Tossed somechaeto in the filter basket. Put the filter bin inside the pool bag,put in a bag of mysids and wala. The fry escape through the nettingwhere the adults are to big. That particular tank has a couple linkedtogether so there is about 40g's for the fry to live and grow in.Mysids are canniblas but there seems to be enough space for them togrow. I have to replace the "breeding basket" about every 4 months withfull grown shrimp from the other tanks. Mysids have a short life spanand if you don't replace the parent colony there will soon be none leftto breed.

I also have a ton of copepods and amphipods in this system it is nutty.

No, that's it actually. I just saw that DaMan had made a post earlier. I wanted to see if he put another link in it to culture stuff!

I have only raised ghost shrimp and little red Hawiiaian shrimp. They are easy if you make a breeder tank with a false bottom. The eggs/larvae fall through then they eat the poo from the adults. I put phyto and spirulina powder in, and Prime, with a bubbler. Takes forever to get them big enough to feed out....]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2006 15:28:52 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11908&PID=110760&title=raising-shrimp#110760 <![CDATA[raising shrimp : Suzy, I dont see one from you...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11908&PID=110727&title=raising-shrimp#110727 Author: bdfitch
