Re: couple of questions

["Cory and Susanne Williamson" <webwill@infinet.net>]

Paul,

I have been using dried decapsulated brine shrimp for a few weeks now- they
are awesome-cheap, and no need to worry about bubbling jars of saltwater
anymore- growth rates seem to be as good as or better (observational) than
live BBS.
I have bought them from Brine Shrimp Direct in Calif..
www.brineshrimpdirect.com
These guys have given me pretty good service- I am sure there are other
companies out there.

Cheers,

Cory Williamson
