Live brine feeder shrimp in Manhattan?

[sroot17]

Anyone know where I can pick some up?

New world aquarium usually has some on the counter.
38th and 3rd ave?

Scott, unless the brine shrimp are hatched that day, and still have the yolk sac attached, or have been enriched, they are void of any useful nutrition. The only purpose they would serve is they can sometimes be used to trigger the feeding response in some tough to feed critters.

The Petland Discounts on 9th Av and 50th gets them in on Thurs. afternoons. Afaik that is the only petland location that carries them. 99 cents a cup. Please update this thread if you find other places that carry them.

Thats exactly what I'm trying to do... I've got a cardinalfish and coral beauty that won't touch anything I give them and am hoping to spur their appetites with something living.
