     Steph,
     
        vinegar eels are available from "Pisces" livefood supplies in 
     Australia. 
     
        I generally use baby brine shrimp for apisto and other dwarf 
     cichlid fry (with occasional feedings of vinegar eels) with pretty 
     good results. As the fry get bigger, I add in some small whiteworms to 
     their diet. (The problem I find with vinegar eels is that they tend to 
     head for the top of the tank very quickly. I therefore tend to use 
     them more for surface dwelling fry rather than as a staple for very 
     young apisto fry.)

       From my reading but not personal experince I would have to 
       agree that vinegar eels seem the easiest.
     
       Anyone know of a source is Australia??  I asked at a LFS and 
       drew a blank look, never even heard of 'em.
