Live foods & group orders **Saltwater Ghost Shrimp**
 

We are in negotiations with an US supplier for some live foods. If we get enough interest we may become the Canadian Distributor.

Saltwater Ghost Shrimp (Palaemontes Vulgaris)

This most durable little marine shrimp, Palaemonetes vulgaris, is an incredible eater of encrusted algaes and detritus in the marine aquarium. In fact, this little shrimp (maximum size is one inch) will out-eat small ocean hermit crabs by 10 to 1. For you mini reefers out there this new live janitor shrimp is perfect. The shrimp will not harm live coral, tube worms, or any other invertebrate larger than itself.

Aquarists have been looking for affordable saltwater feeder shrimp for years, here it is. Unlike the freshwater ghost shrimp that will only live in saltwater for maybe 10 minutes, this saltwater feeder will live forever in your tank or until captured by some hungry fish. We have customers that say they can go on a week's vacation or so and be assured that the fish are being fed properly without those messy and unreliable dry feeders. Just put 100 saltwater feeders in the tank and leave. The fish get them as they can and by the time you get back from vacation the fish are happy and the tank is not rotten from an auto feeder getting stuck open. What an ideal creature.

Assorted Saltwater Feeder Fish

Assorted Saltwater Feeders (size approx. 1"). The size of these Saltwater Feeders makes them an attractive feeder for marine seahorses.

OCEAN GREEN: Nannochloropsis

Live single cell green marine phytoplankton, good for feeding all filter feeders.

Isochrysis G. : Tahitian Strain

This phytoplankton is known to be the best live food for bivalves (clams of all kinds). The natural color of this phytoplankton is golden yellow. Cultivated in full-strength seawater.

Live Marine Rotifers

Approximate number: 10 per ml or 10,000 per liter. Size is 90 microns long or 1/2 the size of brine shrimp nauplii.

Amount to feed is very dependent on the number of filter feeders and size of your marine aquarium. A good starting point is 2 pints per week per 50 gallon medium coral density aquarium. Also, it is the only live starter food for newly hatched marine fish larvae.

I would definitely be interested in the saltwater feeders for my seahorses.

Also forgot to post;

They have Live Coepods (Large, not like DT's micro sizes ones)
Live Adult Brine Shrimp
Live Baby Brime Shrimp

Ken,


Do you have a price range on each of these items?

Thanks

im in foresure

The shrimp will be cheap, about $0.75 cents each. Mainly for food.

All other stock will be priced accordingly, to size.

The shrimp look very interesting, and if other stores are interested, I'll supply them at wholesale price.

I would be in for sw ghost shrimp too Ken.

I would be in for ghost shrimp too

Would the ghost shrimp work well for a reef tank? I was thinking off adding maybe 20-40 of them to the reef for an extra clean up crew but need to know there reef safe. Ken do you ship?
Levi

if youd ship to bc id be in for the ghost shrimp and the feeder fish

Ditto on the BC order.:biggrin:

I'm always in need of live food for my frog fish.

I'll be up for ghost shrimp & adult brine shrimp if anyone else wants in on a Chilliwack/Fraser Valley order.

I work in Burnaby so people could pick up from me there.

Ken - would you do free shipping on certain sized orders?

.

For certain sized orders I'll do my best to recude shipping.

As with most shrimp, cleaners & pepermints they are reef safe.

Ken

Id be in for both the feeder shrimp and fish

im obviously in!

I'm definitely interested.:mrgreen:

If you stock Palaemontes Vulgaris I will not only buy 500 but send you a christmas card too.

In a couple of months I will need about 500 for my cuttlefish once they are off live mysids.

Any chance of you stocking mysids? I realize they are very very labor intensive to culture but no one's doing it in Canada.

Looks like this is more of possibility now, I have shipping costs and such now.

We will be making an initial order of about 500 feeder fish, and 2000+ feeder shrimp within the week.

Ken - BWA

feeders and shrimp
 

Just let me know Ken, I need both.

I can't wait. :lol:

Very interested

I'll contact Kevin at Red Coral and Wendel ant OA to see if they want to stock them.

I'll have about 2000 or so coming in on the first order.

Ken

Do you have pricing yet? I'm interested in 500 shrimp. I realize shipping to Ontario will still probably be pretty high but hopefully less then from florida :)

Hi, I'm from Edmonton and would be interested in the shrimps as well.

Any further news with the shrimps?

steady stream of PODS would be nice.. :)

PODS are no problem, call in and pre-order, I'll have them in 48 hours.

Ken

Ken - BWA

Ken

Ken im interested in this stuff. Not a pile of it, but the two phyto types (Isocrysis is great stuff btw, to anyone wondering), and some shrimps.

Chris

I wouldn't mind some of the shrimp to throw in my tank.

They are due on monday or tuesday.

Delta for some reason says they only ship to Calgary, and I know they ship to Edmonton.

Should be this week for sure. Even if I have to drive to Calgary to get them.

Ken

Did this order ever make it in?

Still communicating with the company.

Unfortuantely the Airline of choice on;ly goe to Calgary from Orlando. Abd AIr Canada wants 2x the cost to ship. Either way doesn't make it economical for the customer.

Working on alternate methods, but may have to make a trip to Calgary to get them for the first order.

Ken

what ever happened
 

What ever happend with these, are you stocking these on a regular basis. What about copepods, do you have live in stock.
Thanks
