for a little bit of extra work you can grow your own brine shrimp and feed them spirulina. cost alot less and as fresh as u can get ;)

Thanks Matt,

Funnily enough I normally go to trans to get my fish food but the guy swears he only has BW and BS.

Any other suggestions ?

i am sure they had some other frozen food there. the freezer was full so they may have just gotten a fresh shipment in.

i can't remember the other types that where there but i am sure i saw at least one other than bloodworms and brine shrimp

give them a call.

have you tried monaco around the corner?

actually i think it was mysis shrimp that i saw today....

not too sure about the tetra bits. didn't really look at them....sorry

might be time to head down there or give them a call cause the freezer is full. they might only stock a small amnout of some things.

they had some nice flowerhorns ther but none a sgood as Mo....welll, maybe i am a little bias!!!! hahah

Atm, hikari only have a small representation of their frozen foods in Australia. It's mostly Bloodworm and Brineshrimp with mysis available occasionally. I'm very sure there's no frozen tubifex in Aust.... only freeze dried.

I recently sourced this at Thornton Hunter valley and both juveniles and adults have responded to it well. It appears to be of the high quality that I have come to associate with Hikari.

I can also get the Hikari frozen Krill, which is the larger shrimp type product. I haven't used it yet but i'll give it a try soon.

Hi Ben,

That's a bloody good price considering I buy wholesale (200 packs a time) and pay $1.65 inc GST per pack. Please either email me or PM me with a price for 200 Orca Bloodworm packs per pick up.
Cheers
