Where to buy Live Brine in DE

[alprazo]

Though I live in DE, I haven't visited a fish store in DE since the closing of Tulls. Well, I ordered a Regal Angel from Diver's Den - said to eat frozen brine and mysis and now on day three still hasn't even picked at the sponge on the rocks. So I am looking for Live Brine. Stopped by fishman - without success. Any Ideas? I live in Wilmington. I guess I have to learn the stores again. So far, it is as I remembered.

Thanks in advance,

Alprazo

Just Fish, in fox run newark, or probably premium aquatics

I dont think any place in DE. Sells adult live brine shrmp. but years ago, Hidden reef used to have a ten gallon tank full of them for sale. in their basement tank room, before the fire. dont know if they still provide them.

or you could grow your own. get some artemia cysts and hatch , feed and grow them if you can. but it might take a week or two, or three.

I used BS eggs from BSD when i was breeding Bangai Cardinal fish. one pound of economy grade cysts lasted me about one year.

I did fill a baby pool last night in the back yard with some salt water and threw in some artemia eggs. In the meantime, I will be hitting all of the above stores. Thanks for the advice.

I was at the Hidden Reef on Thursday and they were out. If you havn't been since the fire, it is worth the ride. New location and Fish come in on Monday nights.

If anyone is ever in need of some, Greenbank aquarium - behind pepboys on Kirkwood Hwy does sell them. It is $2 for a cup full that contains about 50 shrimp. He also has a ~ 15 inch blue angel if anyone has a 500 + tank and looking for gorgeous fish.

I had never been to premium aquatics before. Fish appeared healthy, tanks were not overstocked and prices reasonable.

The regal is ignoring the brine too but fortunately is picking the meat of a cracked clam.

i'd go with frozen mysis before brine .... more nutritional
