Both of my rotifer cultures crashed. I have baby clownfish that need to eat :)

Will buy live rotifers to kick start my cultures. Will trade coral, fish, offer store credit, cash whatever...I just need live rotifers. Looking for multiple sources in the next few hours otherwise I need to overnight some in...which will most likely be too late.

Thx

Anyone aware of any facilities selling live rotifers locally?

My wife found this place, which is an online vendor located in San Antonio:
http://stores.aquaculturenurseryfarms.com (http://stores.aquaculturenurseryfarms.com/)

But the site isn't working now. Go figure. It was when I called them and left a voicemail.

yeah, just worked for me too. I called twice and left a voicemail once. Hope they return my call and I can get out to them today. No address on their site...probably just an online vendor like me but hope they offer local pick up.

no idea, google search says San Antonio but can't get ahold of them anyways. Probably just going to have to order from REED and be better prepared for the next round.

I crashed my cultures and I'm sure it's due to me moving them and the crazy climate changes in the garage recently.

Here is the same business in FL: http://www.tropicpods.com/

lol, so confusing. Perhaps they are the same business or the San Antonio one orders from the FL one.

I just purchased some rotifers online but even with overnight delivery they won't be here in time for the current babies.

So, still looking for a quick fix.

A while ago, like maybe 2 years, I could have sworn I saw some at a place called fintiques.. maybe they were brine shrimp but hell, it'd be worth the shot.

i know fintique carries brine shrimp, but they are adults. i'm headed there tomorrow morning, if'n you'd like me to snag you some.

None of them had rotifers..not surprising though. TT did have frozen rotifers and Fintique...so I picked some up. Better than nothing I guess. Hoping my rotifers ship today.

Thx all.
