Dwarfs won t take frozen mysis. It s way too big. They will feast on newly hatched live mysis (i keep adults in one of my dwarf tank for that purpose + cleaning)
Your fry will be eaten as soon as born by tankmates. Housing dwarfs with the fishs you mentionned is a very bad idea.
H.zosterae is VERY prolific. I started with 6 on may 25th , add 3 more 2 weeks later and now i have more than a hundred....
An extra care must be taken with dwarfs and set up. No live rocks (start with dry rocks!) and clean macro (previous fenbendazole bath), decapsuled bbs... to avoid hydroids that can be deadly to them. There are many different types of hydroids, they are harmless and common in reef tanks but with dwarfs it s a disaster.
Bbs alone are not enough, especially for juveniles and adults. They should be gutloaded after a few days. Copepods is a good food also.
Thank you my husband is making copepods I'll see they get them. I have had 6 babies they are 29 days old doing great nothing tried to eat them I guess I got lucky, I do have one live rock in the tank and it hasn't seemed to affect them and live sand that I took out of our 125 gal tank.
