If it works to raise Rotifers, it may help with these larva.

Re: Hemimysis anomala, Freshwater Mysis

Maybe you should tell them.
I have been informing as many Hobbyist as I can.
More people looking for these will be a lot easier.

I want to keep and Breed them.
And I know that a few Hobbyist/Breeders will want them for a live food source.

I will keep everyone posted.
