How do you rinse Mysis ?

Buy one of those small colinders from a kitchen store that are used to strain tea etc. Those work the best. Just throw a chunk in the colinder, run it under warm water, and then pat the bottom dry. Works awesome!

I do the same as Dirty Reefer.

I dont rinse it at all. Just thaw it in some tank water in a cup and dump it in.

Haha, yeah... I'm trying to do the exact opposite. In a 20g tank, if I overfeed in the slightest I will notice a bad algae bloom. So I always tend to underfeed big time.

Thanks for everyones tips.. seems simple enough, the colinder method is a good idea. I will give this a try tonight! Thanks again to all.

I thaw PE mysis in a cup or plastic container with RO water. All kinds of oil is released during thawing, so I pour out the water and rinse again. I do this about 4 or 5 times. Lots of little specks of stuff are poured out as well, so only larger mysis gets fed to the fish.

I just throw it in a brine shimp net and run it under water. When its thawed I just toss it into my aquariums. For the African land crab I just throw it into his aquaterrarium.

Is there some particular benefit to the RO rinse vs. saltwater rinse ? I usually just thaw in tank water and drain in a net, then put on vitamin and garlic occasionally.
