Live Food/critters Wanted In Uk

[1entra]

Hi guys iv just newly set up another marine tank which has just finished cycling. I know small critters like mysis, copepods and amphipods can arrive into the tank via LR and corals etc but i wish to speed the process up and introduce some myslef so i know they are in the tank and quite well established before i add any fish.

Do you guys know of any sites or places in the UK where I can buy cultures to add to my tank along with my refugium...

Or does any one here culture these and is willing to sell and post out to me?

All input welcome

Thanks in advance guys

reefworks do i think

buy some from reefworks ( I bought two, one for my tank and one for my culture) and set up a culture jar/tank. it's real easy, all you need is an empty container an air stone and your salt water - put it on your window sill, wait a few weeks and then start to harvest

sorry for hacking post but i want to do this when mine is set up because the missus want a mandarin fish and i believe they need copepids and stuff for food but if i put them in my sump will they breed and will they be able to get to my display tank might be just talking crap here but newbie so should be looked kindly upon

Guys what are your thoughts on River shrimp? can they survive long term in a marine aquarium/fuge if not eaten? I want to create a natural ffod source in my tank so i can watch them in my fuge so no not really wish to culture something outside of the tank. But thanks for the input so far guys...
