I would like to buy a 16 oz can of brine shrimp eggs. Went to a couple pet stores tonight and only managed to find the 3.5 oz cans.
Is there an online store that anyone could reccomend to buy them? I tried OSI's site, but they only seem to sell case lots, and 12 cans is too much for me! I just want one can! haha!
Where do you folks order your brine shrimp eggs from? I even tried a common stores online and they don't sell the 16 oz. cans.

Thanks for that link! I just spent a bunch of money there, getting a lot of the set up stuff i will need. very nice!
Sorry about my poor searching, and really appreciate you pointing me to the right threads to get this info.

Edit: Referring to MOPS. Their brine shrimp egg prices are quite appealing. Always used OSI in the past but for that price swing, going to give these ones a try!
edit 2: this is what I bought.
1 x Grade A Brine Shrimp Eggs [454 g]$50.291 x Aqua Mist 7/16 in. Cylinder [80 pk]$17.635 x Sponge Filter [Square] Large Weighted$28.853 x Airline Connectors/Adapters [6 pk]$4.561 x Freshwater Flake [1 kG]$33.081 x Methylene Blue [118 mL]$3.532 x 100' of Standard Air Line Tubing$18.04Kind of went crazy on the package of air stones, but it seemed like such a good price, and if I recall correctly, I could never find enough air stones. at a unit cost of 22 cents, was hard to not buy them when I already have a big order in.
I cheaped out on the air line. Orginally had that nice green flexible line, but it was a bit more expensive.

No worries about searching skills, Dan. Lots of times I recall something we've discussed around here and can't seem to find it. With all the folk around here, hopfulyy someone else is bound to recall the discussion and point you in the right direction.
Sounds like you've been emptying your wallet. Don't forget to save some money for the fish.:wink:

It's always nice to have the opportunity to support Canadian companies and the Canadian economy, since we're going to spend it anyway. I've had a snag or two with MOPS, but nothing serious and they always made it right, which is all I ask of any business. I don't think it's a coincidence that one of them was because I was asking for something out of the ordinary in regards to delivery because I was making it a school donation - I can confuse anyone :laugh: . I don't believe that I've ever heard anything truly bad about them.
Sounds like you're having fun over there! Welcome back to the hobby :Smile: .
