Where can I buy live Brine shrimp

[kyarnkid]

I wanted to give my True Perc a little variety to his/her diet, so I want to see if he will eat some live Brine. Where can I buy some? I know I can easily breed some, but is frozen Brine just as good?
What are some nutitious food for fish?
What and how do I use Zoe to enrich some of my food?
I have Flakes and Freeze-Dried Brine, can I use ZOE on that?
Thanks guys

we use frozen and flakes, and add the vitamins or garlic(not both at the same time our fish don't like the combo) and just soak the frozen foods in them for a few minutes, before feeding

what are the vitamins?
like Zoe and Doe liquid stuff?

 

[fshhub]

We feed our clowns, pygmy angel and masked gobies frozen brine shrimp alternating days with formula one. You can also mix frozen brine shrimp with flakes. They love it!!!!

Brine shrimp in itself is not a very nutritious food. You can actually take any vitamins and feed live brine, then deliver it to your fish in a sort of compact "pill" form, like my daily centrums Also try making your own food with human seafood from the supermarket. I nuke it for a few seconds to avoid any contamination.

you can hatch the brine shrimp yourself. most petstore sell kits including the brine eggs for you to hatch.

Though it will probalby burn out my power head prematurely, I place small chunks of the frozen brime block on the intake filter basket of my power head and let it suck it in and then shoot it out across the tank. With two powerheads in a fairly small tank the individual pieces fly all over the place, and the fish tend to "hunt" the pieces as they float by.
Though this does not address the nutrient issue with using frozen brine, it takes care of the problem of having to thaw the cube, or of having a cube floating around like a block of chum at the top of the tank.
Give it a try if you aren't worried about maybe burning out your pump.... the fish love chasing down the pieces in my tank at least... but then again what clown doesn't like to play?
Good luck.

I have come up with a handy way to feed frozen brine. I drink a lot of Dr. Pepper, and I have saved all the little bottle tops off of them. I will go a buy a big bag of shrimp, thaw them out and the spoon them into the lid, freeze them, and them when I want to feed, I thaw one lid out and its perfect!!

Check out livebrineshrimp.com They have pretty good prices and different live foods. I haven't ordered from them yet but they seem less expensive than lfs prices.
