Live Artemia (brine shrimp) - Thoughts?

[dzmora]

Hi all,

Does anyone here have any experience with live adult brine shrimp aka artemia?
It's a wonderful live food for most fishies, but from what I'm gathering really hard to find on the West Coast...Of course you can always hatch your own, but it's a pain to grow them to adult size.

I'm actually talking to a distributor and weighing the possibility of bringing some around for rather cheap. This is not a sales pitch - I was just wondering if this is something you all would be interested in, and if there's enough demand for this, or if have any other thoughts about this subject.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!

From other literature that Ive read, adult brine shrimp are not very nutritious for our fish (unless gut loaded with vitamins). Baby brine is best after hatching.

That said, I use live brine ship from AquaSD to feed new fish comers. I also dose with selcon first then drop them in my QT.
