How do you break the cycle Jeremy? Do a lot of wc?

I start with one large water change (~50%) siphoning out as much algae as possible (ideally all). Most of the time that works.

If that doesn't work I break out the chemicals, but usually the water change works.

What about PE mini mysis? Is it a different species or just a juvenile version or regular PE mysis?

Good question, have no idea but I figure it's just smaller of what they normally sell.

I notice my fish don't "fatten up" too well on hikari mysis if they start out thin. I don't like feeding it for that reason. I got better results from sfbay/h2olife mini mysis.

This stuff also seemed to be a good alternative to PE mysis, didn't foul the water so quickly, and there's a variety of sizes in a single package. Too bad my current fish have tiny mouths and are stuck with mini-sized food.

Glad I found this, I just discovered the joys of feeding PE Mysis and will now rinse them out before feeding. Thanks!
