    you are better off searching for brine eggs and hatching them yourself. You may be able to find those

    The fish Shack in Manchester Iowa sells them for cheap I can't quite remember how much but it's never very much like 2 or 3 dollars for a shot glass full

    you dont need to. 2L pop bottle and they hatch in 24 hours. Then feed.

    I agree with what @xroads@xroads said, upsidedown 2l bottle with a bubbler DIY hatchery. If you use them when they are first hatched they have a much higher nutritional value as they still have an egg sack attached. after 24-48 hours they have very little nutritional value as why it is impractical to buy them live somewhere and use them. When I need them I run 2 bottles and alternate them every day so I always have fresh hatched.

    I started one up. He's eating brine shrimp for me. I'm reading some people are saying they don't get what they need from the brine though so I'm still on the hunt for mysis as well.
