[Zbrafish] Re: Australian Facilities - Fish Food

[swarvegorilla]

I would say hit up 'Ridley'
They do a lot of aquaculture.
Because they generally only sell in huge amounts
I usually get smaller quantitys thru a reseller called 'Hey-you'
only prob is I'm not sure how they spell their name (hey U, Hay You....   or 
something)
anyway they sell by the bag so can get 20, 40, 60 kg lots.
