Most efficient way of buying frozen mysis?

[jayteerq]

Does anyone have any advice to buying frozen mysis that’s more cost friendly? I like these because I can buy local and avoid shipping charges + I know I’m feeding a consistent amount every time. They’re 9$ a pop and I go through a tray a week. Just wondering if anyone has any better methods? Would like to try and keep the feeding amount consistent as well.

They sell larger bags that you can chip off as much as you want and it's generally more cost effective. You could also buy a bunch of frozen ones online and even with overnight shipping once you buy enough it's cheaper than the $9-$10 price you pay at Petco.

Not sure if anyone knew this but I just ordered and they told me the club has a 5% discount. The code is 05114

They also have a nice price on 21 trays of Cubed frozen food for $75 shipped. Thats pretty cheap per tray shipped its a lot of food but maybe after covid we can do a group buy.

Bio-Pure Frozen Mysis Shrimp

Mysis Shrimp is the most recommended food for reef aquariums. Mysis Shrimp are a staple, primary food source for marine and freshwater fish alike. These whole mysis shrimp are gut loaded with nutrients, while being high in amino acids and carotene, which directly helps growth, color, and overall...

Choose the 16 oz flat pack for $12.

I don’t know where you’re located but I know Ocean State Aquatics sells the flat packs in store.

I buy the 40 ounce flat pack at pets warehouse. It's $52 to my house in new Hampshire. They do a good job of packing it in dry ice. I have never had a problem even on the hottest months.
