I have some Primo Eggs if you would like a scoop... I could sell you some.. I got mine from the US from Reed Nutrition! Its way easier then buying live! All the stores in the city are kinda expensive!!

Do a Google search. Not that hard to hatch them. 2 litre pop bottle,some airline and pump with some saltwater and your good to go. I did all the time when I bred Discus a pain in the ass but not hard. I get mine from Brine Shrimp Direct still have a coffee can full.

Are you after newborn, juvenile or adult live brine?
Growing them out in any meaningful numbers is a PITA so if you can buy locally at a reasonable price then that would be the way to go.
I haven't been able to buy any locally for 17 yrs now so I've been growing my own for myself and for others, some to stores around me.
