im also looking for someone willing to split them up.
I know its a pain in the arse.
but a more or less thing would be ok.

i wonder how large is an order of a 1000?

i got a 5 gal bucket i could keep alive for a day or 2.

I'm in Joe.

 

[FlexLuthor]

hey i have a question,
I was actually thinking of doing this same thing today (i'm in jersey though). If you put these in a small fuge will they repopulate?

 

[NYC Joe]

well there good in a fuge,
with a small fuge, the bigger older ones will eat the smaller ones.
a tank too. but fish will hunt them down eventually.

I had quite a few going, and noticed a couple everytime i looked.

shall i start a list in the next post?

thanx

now they seem to be gone.

 

[FlexLuthor]

This is ironic. I was literally at my lfs asking questions today. My aquapod is a lil smaller than the back aquapod compartment. Would this be doable for me?

 

[NYC Joe]

have no clue what size aquapod? how many glns,
and how many glns is the chamber?

also PM me if you want to be on the list.
im going to start one.
Pm me with your name and a number i can reach you at. (cell)

mysids- 1000 pack.
1. NYC Joe- 100
2.?


*****disclaimer********
not a group buy, gauging interest.
but, if your on the list, when and if it happens, ill give you a call.

just got a quote,
.20 cents each, - a 1000 makes it 200$
so 20$ each if we have 10 people wanting a 100
, this is not including shipping etc.
working on that as we speak.

NYC Joe,

The task of having to separate out 100 mysids from 1000 of them just boggles my mind, considering that they might be eating each other if they just happen to be hungry. You might want to consider getting them all in suspension and splitting the total volume of water into ten equal parts and then offering the choice of the 10% parts on a first come first served basis.

I'm not in the running - I pick up a small batch for $10 whenever I hit Something Fishy (http://www.toofishy.com/home.php). They have snail tanks (with no fish predators) where the bottoms are crawling with mysids.

How did you connect with the vendor? Their site is a work in progress...

Best of luck with your endeavor,
Bob

Dom of diamonds of the reef is an awesome guy, he posts here a lot.
I have brought a few seahorses from him. (top notch)
also if you go to the swaps, he has the most awesome fish.

Im on a call him if I need anything basis.
so if he says he can get em, he could.
The whole crew is awesome actually!

I called him and talked to him about it.
It is a pain to separate them!
thats a good idea bob, may just do that.

still need help. dont want to be unfair.
but the time will matter. i dont want them eating each other etc...
