Stable availability of live Daphnia or baby bbs

[Ingen]

Hi,

Any idea which LFS near west, sin Ming and toa payoh that have stable supply of live daphnia and BBS?

C328 always run out by the time I reach after work around 6:30-7pm and polyart don't seem to stock them anymore.

c328 restocks them few times a day, better check with boss regarding timing, or ask them reserve a pack for you tomorrow

I get my live Daphnia from Hong Yang Aquarium at CCK Central. Call in advance to check for availability, their contact number is in the Merchants section. Where BBS is concerned, if I need them I just hatch them myself.

I checked with the lady boss (finally saw her this week) and she told me they restock at around 6pm daily. I went there at 6:30 all gone lol.

They stock up daily?

I am sure it's daily but she takes only for regulars and perhaps one or two packs more as reserve

Yishun Y618 got live daphnia everyday, usually 2pm they finished packing. They also got live adult brine shrimp, no baby brine shrimp.

Ingen, yes, except for days with heavy rains when the supplier does not come. As mentioned earlier, call to ask for availability before going down.

C328 typically only sells live BBS, but not Daphnia. If it comes it's only a few bags and almost always gone quickly. Often they're already Instar II, which is lower in nutrition compared to Instar 1 (freshly hatched). You can tell the difference from the longer body as compared to a freshly hatched one.

I gave up on getting BBS from c328 and decided to hatch my own. With the guidance from petmart I bought a bottle of brine shimp eggs and a tub of sea salt from them. I managed to hatch one batch yesterday, they look extremely small compared to those found at c328. It's surprisingly simple to hatch and leverage on my used small air pump and a 1.5L mineral bottle.

Isn't BBS = Sea Monkeys?

Yes. I feed them to my indostomus and pea puffer.
