You can also look for live Black Worms (Lumbriculus spp.). They need to be soaked in freshwater and kept in the fridge with 2x daily 100% waterchanges. They will be dirty at first, and you can't use them until the water is clear when it's time to do another waterchange.
Look for roe at Asian markets. It is often frozen. Ask for Tobiko (Flying Fish roe) which is bigger and more expensive or Masago (Capelin roe) which is smaller. Don't get the green ones that have wasabi on them. The really bright orange ones are dyed. They are ok to use, just rinse them really, really well.
