RE: Frozen Fish-Food Coop-Order

["Rick" <rick-rose@attbi.com>]

Hi June,

I'm hoping some others will chime in with opinions on SFB brand.  My
experience has always been good with their brine shrimp; I've never used
their blood worms before.  

We were wondering the same thing about the mosquito rojo larva.  We
thought that blood worms were fly larva.  Steev?, anybody?, we need some
help on this one :) 

I asked Sandy Gibson her opinion on the phone.  She said it's all good,
but especially for blood worms, she thinks the Hikari brand is best -
specifically, the cleanest.

There's been a good amount of interest, so far, so the shipping cost
should be quite low.  The fixed shipping amount is $19.99 no matter how
much we order.  I can't guarantee an exact amount though, since your
share of the $19.00 will be pro-rated based on the $value of what you
buy.  In other words, if you buy a lot more (and expensive) items than
anybody else, then you'll pay more shipping than anybody else.
Conversely, if your order is smaller than most others, then you'll pay
less shipping.  

I hope this helps,
Rick
