Live food

[cerickson]

Does anyone know where I can get some live fish food in Ottawa?

Such as bloodworms or brineshrimp. It seems that no fish or pet store carries any.

Any tips would be great.

I know that Aquarium Services and PetSmart sell brineshrimp eggs.  Stores never sell live brineshrimp since the brineshrimp are only good for a few days after they hatch.

I believe Aquarium Services on Innes road sells white worms (live).   They may have other live foods too, I've never inquired.

The whiteworms are cultures, so you have to wait a few weeks before they're big enough for something bigger (like a discus). I think its about 4.50$ for a styrofoap cup full of dirt and worms  :wink:

Superpet also has brine shrimp eggs, and should also carry the hatchery

I believe blood worms are available everywhere they sell geckos or lizards..  

dipped in D3 powder... yummy

I know the bugs we sell at SP are butterworms, superworms (giant mealworms) mealworms, wax worms, crickets and silkworms, occasionally friut flies

what is D3 powder, and does it taste like chocolate ?

Good to hear.. I'll take a look see at some local pet stores here, and whenever I make it over to petsmart I'll look into setting up a hatchery.
