Any stores in the area sell Nutramar Ova?

[Elysia]

Does anyone know of any stores in the general area that sell Nutramar Ova? I ordered a fish that was eating this food previously, however I do not have any nor do I know where to purchase some. I have never seen it at TFP, and I called Something Fishy and was told that they do not carry it. Even with the current cost of gasoline, I could drive more than 100 miles each way to a store for the same cost of having the food shipped to me (plus have the opportunity to visit a store), but I really need to get this food. Please let me know if you have been to a store that carries it -- Thanks!

Buying from an online store is not an option for you?

Buying online is an option, just wondering if I could get it quicker from an area store before going that route (and have the bonus of visiting an area store.) The fish needs the food, so I will be getting it come heck or high water, I was just hoping to get it today or tomorrow.

I think my boundaries will be
State College to the NW;
Frederick, MD to the SW;
Baltimore, MD to the SE;
Northampton to the NE.

Anyone want to suggest someplace I should contact? I've never seen it at TFP, Something Fishy told me on the phone that they don't carry it (if anyone has ever purchased it there, please let me know.) The only other places that I know of that I could try would be Exotic Aquatic in Baltimore and Beyond the Reef in Bloomsburg (although they are only open on weekends.) Nutramar doesn't list retailers on their website.

Where have you guys purchased frozen food online from before? I do not want the food to go through any thawing while it is being shipped (which I know can be a problem.) Drs. Foster & Smith are backordered and don't expect to have more Nutramar for a month. I am concerned about the health of my fish and I do not know how much longer I will be able to find shrimp that are carrying eggs to purchase and house with him.

Just a thought, but why don't you check out the PA LFS thread at the top of the board and see what shops are near you and then you can call and see if they have what you are looking for.
