Raising Misys Shrimp?

[nspiro88]

I have been researching raising your own food. Time and time again I see the "experts" say how brine shrimp lacks the nutrition needed to sustain your aquarium livestock. People seem to recommend Misys shrimp as their food of choice. How do I go about buying a hatchery to raise these little guys? Is there a source on the net anyone would recommend? Do you raise Misys shrimp like you do brine shrimp?

Much the same, although the cannabalism in Mysids forces multiple tank setups to keep them separated by size.

I would like to have the space to set up 3 - 4 systems (startnig them a week or two apart) to support SHs.

A down the road project.
