reefnjunkie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Anybody aware of a store in the Portland area (20 miles radius or so) that currently has live brine? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyK Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I would check World of Wet Pets in Beaverton. Have not been there in a few months but usually carry live brine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash21 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 World of wet pets always has Brine Shrimp and Blackworms. Black worms for freshwater nerds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Black worms are good for SW fish too I've heard- they are expected to get some tonight Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Live black worms are great for getting picky fish to eat. Be sure to rinse them well, as they get kinda funky. Also, only feed a few at a time. They don't live long in saltwater and most picky fish will only eat them while they're writhing and wiggling. On the other hand Brad, I would stay away from live brine. Even with rinsing there is a good chance that you will introduce ich into your system by feeding live brine. Are you trying to entice a fish to eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Family pet center (122nd&glisan) always have live black worms. Tell Glenn and Mike I said hi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Fish are eating live brine presently and are in a separate system for a few weeks to get them acclimated to captivity.

albertareef Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Those are really sweet! Glad to hear they are at least eating something. Good luck getting them acclimated. BTW - what is the yellowish acro right next to the two lower wrasses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Went and looked that one up - drool. I also went back to your tank thread to see if I could find it... man, I could just stare at those all day. Amazing collection! Sorry for the thread hijack. Now I need to go look up those wrasses! Jon - nice tip about the worms for picky eating new arrivals - thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash21 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Plus it's way easy to keep black worms alive! I pick up two portions every 2-3 weeks. Only if Reefing was that freaking easy like FW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks flash, I'll contact them, much closerSent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
