cheap source for live mysid and rotifers?

[fish keeper 7]

anyone know any local places (nyc/jersey) that sell these? or any good online suppliers?

 

[fish keeper 7]

does tropiquarium sell live mysids?

 

[motortrendz]

i dont think so.. just pods..

 

[motortrendz]

i was looking at a site yesterday to, that had live mysid and cyclops.. i cant remember which one..check ebay

 

[fish keeper 7]

alright, i know of a few sites just would rather pay for tolls and gas then shipping. aquaculturestore.com has them and a few others.. thanks though motor, ill compare prices on ebay.

dom sells them in lots of a 1000.
I thought about doing a group buy and splitting them between 10 peeps.
but i dont wanna sit there and count 100's of tiny lil jammers.

I think Dom, DOTR, sells some of that stuff

Update:

lots of 1000.

The cost for every 1000 is $225 (roughly $20 per 100 mysis). If someone wants to spear head a group buy let him know and he would coordinate.

I would be in for 100.

 

[motortrendz]

how would u count them? arent they small?

I wouldn't count it, Just separate them into 10 tupperware containers and if they all look ROUGHLY even, then you're good to go.
When you order by lots of 1000, they estimate as well, but usually they try to error on the high side so you should end up with over 1000.

 

[fish keeper 7]

id be in for 100.

im going to order them from aquaculture store tomorrow as i got my 3 cuttle eggs from bob1000 today (thanks) and 1 egg already hatched and the other two look like could be within the next day. so i need live food by friday morning at least. ill try to do what i can with a few 10g tanks and phytoplex with the mysid/rotifer cultures. wish me luck =]

(could have sworn when i was in tropiquarium last summer i saw a sign for live mysids, could have been ghost shrimp though, damn lol)

so no one wants to split a 1000.
im cool with guesstimating.
Just dont really need a 1000.

 

[Killerdrgn]

Where would the split up occur?
