Due to weather, the supplier was unable to ship my lfs the order of live brine shrimp for my horses.

Does anyone have a supply that I could buy from them? We live in SAGLO so would need it shipped.

I can hatch bbs like crazy, but I can not get it to mature to adult size on a regular basis. What is the secret to do this? I think the other times that I was successful was because the shrimp were just too stubborn to die.

Need help please. Thank you, from the h. Barbouri family

Here's one, there are other suppliers as well. I think seahorse.org list a bunch of suppliers too.

You could also try raising your own SW ghost shrimp. I think they are easier than raising brine shrimp, but I've never tried either. Here's a link on that.

Richard, I checked out the link. I couldn't believe that instructions for both shrimp was in the same place. Thank you. I have this link saved. All our horses thank you.

I still need to find Live Brine Shrimp for this weekend. Keep us in mind.

NEBS, I have called, emailed and waiting for a reply. Thier store hours are 10-4 Mon-Thursday. I found a place in San Antonio that has LBS, but they don't ship.

Try "Noni" on seahorse.org He sells brine as well as few other, more nutrious shrimp varieties, even amphipods. He sent mine out the next morning overnight when I recieved my babies.

In the mean time, you may want to pick through the fuge or any sponges you have for 'pods. It will tide over the horses until you get their favorite in...

Good Luck!
