mysis shrimp good or bad?

by littlej2455

I went to the fish store and I bought some mysis shrimp. I then had to make some unexpected stops on the way home and I guess they took a little longer than I was expecting. Well to make a long story short when I got home all of the mysis shrimps were no longer frozen but were still at a cool temperature. So i tried to add water to the shrimp packets to help freeze them again from the lost water that defrosted. Is this food still safe to feed my fish?

I dont see why not.......As long as they are kicken.......only one way to find out. Throw em in. nah just kidding, put them in a hospital tank and see if they hatch right.....if they look okay and are clinging on to algae, then your problem is solved! if not.........discard them. Plus if you run a small 5 gallon with some algae and mysis.......you could raise them to feed all the time and have fresh mysis

the mysis were already frozen when i got them. they were in the package. i was wondering if it was okay if i froze them again after being totally defrosted.
