Hi Yvan,
Unless you can purchase from a wholesaler ( around
these parts you need a retailers license) I suggest you try to work together
with your favorite aquarium pet shop.
I get all of my live food (Brine shrimp,
blackworms, tubifex etc.) through my local aquarium pet store. I'm not
talking about paying retail price!! Since I sell/trade most of my fry with this
pet store, over the years I worked out an arrangement where everyone is
happy. I pay him cost plus a small markup (for his trouble). I
can buy as much as I want. It sure beats paying 3 x cost!
There're mail order catalogues where you can buy
direct, but in the summer time I've had bad experience with black worms.. the
heat kills them quickly!! best done in the cool weather.
Good luck
sal

Subject: live food.
hi there!
just wanted to have some info from you guys.
i would like to buy live food specially Artemia salinas
(brine shrimps).
where can i get some, i mean in big quantity? I'm tired to
put so much money in a quantity that i'll be out after 3 days. I've seen some
pretty big baggs coming to some LFS. do you guys know where i could get
any?
Also i would like to feed my fish almost exclusively with
brine shrimp, i would like to know where to get black worms (ie tubifex) in
big quantity as well.
i'm living in Corvallis, Oregon. (1h30 from
Portland).
thanks
