Title: Frozen Cyclops
Post by: wolfiewill on November 29, 2011, 04:49:24 PM
Does anyone know where to purchase frozen cyclops? I have tried the H2O product but none of my fish will eat it. They will, however, eat the Ocean Nutrition product, and do so greedily. But I can't find anything Canadian.

I got the answer to my own question from the 'horses' mouth. Here's the responce from the Ocean Nutrition rep:

"Dear Greg,

Thank you for choosing Ocean Nutrition and for your inquiry. Unfortunately Ocean Nutrition products are not being sold in Canada at this time.  We have 5 distributors in Canada that are not receiving product because new regulations (restricting trade of Asian-produced products shipped from the US) have restricted our ability to export there.  Hopefully, the Canadian government will adopt some new regulations allowing us to resume selling products in Canada. In the meantime, we are working towards being able to produce a few of our more popular Ocean Nutrition products here in the United States, which should allow us to resume export of those items. You may be able to find some of our items for purchase online that can be shipped to Canada, but that is not at our discretion. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely, Cody Chapin, M.S.; Marketing & Sales, Ocean Nutrition Americas; 8239 Enterprise Drive; Newark, CA  94560

We picked up some of these (twin pack mysis/cylopeeze) from fish tails and have been working out...

I've also tried the Twin pack Cyclopez and Mysis it works great. The other alternative is to buy it in the US and get it shipped to Ogdensburg (50 min from Ottawa) and drive it back yourseft.
