FYI. Apparently brine shrimp eggs from China and Russia are becoming available; However, the initial order is quite large (20 cases, so about $2k to lay out to China, a bit scary to consider.) Still, the price of the individual can for 90-95% hatch is amazling low ($9.50/can). Anyone have any experience with these eggs? Anyone interested in a carton or two? I also don't know what "CFR" means - and whether there will be extra charges because the cartons arrive 'by ocean ship.' Maybe someone with more experience knows, like can we merely order 'drop ship to port of seattle' and if so, how in the world do you find them...
