I recently got a pair of young seahorses and although they are eating mysis, I'm looking for live brine shrimp to feed medication. Ghost shrimp are just too big. Does anyone know of where I can get them in SoCal?

Eventually got them from Age of Aquariums. It was $7.50 a portion ... wow. They've gotten expensive lol. I tried Pasadena tropical and they wouldn't answer the phone. And Bob's doesn't carry live brine fyi.

Oh nice! What seahorses do you have? Do they eat frozen foods too? frozen mysis is the best nutritionally, and live brine would have to be gut loaded to be worth anything.

I bought a bag off eggs from ebay and they are easy to hatch. takes 24 hours to have live babies by the millions. all you need is a jar and an air stone. I even just dump some eggs in the sump and they grow by them selves in the sump. some get sucked into the skimmer but when you have millions who cares.
