[Zbrafish] Brine Shrimp Sources

[David G. White]

Hello, we have been getting our cysts from http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/Brine-Shrimp-Eggs-c2.html without any problems. They have Great Salt Lake cysts at a fair discount from our previous supplier at 85% hatch. For enrichment we use Selcon.

Good luck
