Problems with Artemia avaiablity

[Ruki]

There're only problems in Poland to buy Artemia salina/franciscana or it's "global" problem? First prices were going crazy up(near 200%) and now it's hard to buy anywhere.
It's not only hobbist problem, also big companies have problems with buying Artemia...

No problems yet with the distributor I use: http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com

I use Brine Shrimp Direct, too. I use the economy grade and get very good hatches. I don't know if they ship to Europe. Email them with questions. They do take PayPal. Now is a good time to ship eggs as the weather is cold. They can't get too cold; too hot, on the other hand ... If they ship, then buy a case, sell extras to other hobbyist (at a small profit, of course) and freeze the rest.

You could try TA Aquaculture here in the UK. I'm sure Tim has shipped to Europe in the past. He gets great brine shrimp cysts in from Russia that hatch brilliantly.

I use to buy "Prime grade" for hatching and "Economy grade" for decapsulating.

I've used TA Aquaculture as well and they are a good company to deal with. Tim is a fish breeder, so he should be able to answer any questions.
