Feeding Anemone Mysis Shrimp

[Be4Sims]

Dry shrimp ok?

I live far from LFS that has salt water products.

I cant find and online CANADA store that will sell me a SMALL amount of frozen to try.
US have it but won't ship here. I don't want to spend a lot of money to just try it.
Is it okay to feed dry? and how do you? soak it? boil it or ??

thanks

Your grocery stores don't sell fresh frozen shrimp for human consumption?

Feed frozen shrimp small pieces

Really mysis is the best thing to feed, it's probably more so what they would actually be pulling in wild, that or smaller even.
But in reality light is their main source of energy and you could bypass spot feeding completely if light is good.
Scallops and raw shrimp are ok too of course.
I probably wouldn't bother w/ the dry, not sure if they would even pull it in.

Even freshwater fish stores usually have frozen foods, at leas every single one I have ever been to.
The Mysis we feed are actually freshwater species.

This is very ironic because PE Mysis is based in BC and its product is made of shrimp from the lakes of Canada.

funny

funny

too true.. ironic.

I live on west coast Canada

could catch wild saltwater shrimp /prawns off a dock here or boat with a trap.

been feeding regular type shrimp.

I thought Mysis was "best".

I feed my anemones the same I feed my fish: Mysis, Cyclops, zoo plankton and to a lesser extent brine shrimp - all frozen. This kind of resembles what they feed on in the wild and I see no need to give them anything different.
Also I feel that unless you chop large shrimp into smaller pieces they may be somewhat harder to digest for some anemones.

BTW: I find it hard to believe that there are no saltwater stores in or around Vancouver.

You can't find frozen shrimp in the grocery store? Or scallops, or fish?
