For those looking for a better price on BS eggs. Try Sanders Brine
Shrimp Company. You may need to do this in association with an
aquarium club, but they give very good prices by the case on eggs. My
local clubs been doing this for quite a few years now and I've
normally paid 5 to 10 dollars per 15 oz tin. They also sell to
individuals but often through a bit better price to clubs. The also
often give great deals on seconds. Often this cans with the wrong
grade market on the can or a close out of last years stock. They are
located in Ogden Utah, phone 801-393-5027. Now I'm not going to say
you'll find any at $10 per tin now with the prices up, but you may
find a much better deal than the normal pet trade sources.
