Live Brine and Blood worms

[Thorsx]

I need to find an Orlando fish store that sells live brine and live blood worms.

You can get a little brine shrimp hatchery from Florida Aqua farms or Aquatic Eco and hatch live brine daily very easily. They are most nutritious within 12-24 hrs of hatching anyway. But, Ocean Blue used to carry live brine. I don’t know if they still do.

Petland(I know, I know, not the best of stores for SW) carries brine shrimp. I have a hatchery. Brine shrimp eggs by the quarter pound are a lot cheaper than brine by the scoop. Another way of going is a small 10 gallon tank as a brine tank. By the eggs and doing it yourself is cheaper and easier than going out every couple days to buy brine.

i try the hatchery a couple of time and for some reason only 25% of the egg hatch and after 24hr of the first hatch the water start smelling like dead fish. what am i doing wrong.

Just bought some this afternoon from Vin at Ocean Blue...
He has them all the time, in a tank at the back of the shop...

A key to hatching brine shrimp well is not putting too many eggs in. You can actually have a better yield with less eggs. Also, hydrating the eggs properly makes a difference.

Thanks for all the feedback. I got a can of brine shrimp eggs from Aquatic Eco and I have started my first batch.
