Where do you buy your saltwater feeder fish/shrimp online?

[Bleakborn]

So I have run into a conundrum, my normal supplier has been sold out for a awhile of SW Glass Shrimp and I am going to need to get some more soon.... Where is the best place that you have found online to order them in larger quantities (200-300)?

Also I am trying to avoid shipping with USPS (since the current fiasco with the sorting machines and being stuck in transit for several days) and would prefer to use FedEx or UPS.

My frogfish will thank you!

I have not found anywhere to get them for the last month or so. You can find freshwater ghost shrimp.
I set up a 55 gallon freshwater tank, so I can use whatever is available.

I have done that in the past... But currently I can't track any down locally and there is only like one or two shops that sell large quantities and one of which I have had bad luck with... LiveAquaria *Cough*

I usually get mine from eBay. There are zero listings right now. Rusalty had some a week ago. I bought from them once and choose not to do so again. I did see them on liveaquaria.

I am getting by with guppies and ghost shrimp for now.

The incoming storms will make them scarce for a while.

Worst comes to worse, I would look for some Neocaridina if the Ghosts dont work out. I have a FW tank full of them and they breed pretty regularly. They are fairly popular right now too. Theyre food for my wife's puffer when the population gets out of control.

I am currently using cherry shrimp for my smaller frogfish and I also in the past have had to resort to catching baby crawdads but they don't always like them that much. It would be nice if I could track down a bait shop that would be willing to ship to me...

I dont remember how they shipped.

I think I am going to try here next

They are out of saltwater but have ghosts.

I have a bunch living in my sump which is a stock tank with a bunch of stuff in it. I may make a trap.

I have looked into them in the past but the shipping was over $70 to ship to my address....

Try going to aquabid, and look for a seller.

I wish you luck. Tough times ahead I fear.

Has anyone tried to raise up FW prawns as feeders? I found a couple sites for them.

Last 3 I ordered 2 from live aquaria and 1 from NY aquatics all died within 6 hours of receiving then due to lack of warm water on shipping. Live aquaria 66 degree water NY aquatics was 54

So to answer your question. Local for me only now. Lesson learned.

They shipped FedEx and I still haven’t gotten my order of over 300 dollars and can’t get them to return a phone call or over 5 Emails.
