Bbs

[squirt_12]

Ok well i was always thinking of this...how much would you sell BBS's for?? like the live ones? i have always wondered what they would go for??

[Dave66]

Not much, if anything. They are far too easy to culture.

[cocoa_pleco]

yep, their availibility makes them only worth for sale in huge batches or to give away in small batches

[squirt_12]

thats what i figured but i saw frozen ones sold in a store before so why would they be so popular and not live ones???

[cocoa_pleco]

some people see live ones as too much of a bother, and some fish prefer frozen

After a couple Instar (molts) the BBS lose nutrition very quickly. By the time they were bought, they'd be worthless, nutrition-wise.

Thusly suggesting hatching one's own?

[Dave66]

Yep, GM. Do yourself a favor and get decapsulated eggs, though. I sprinkle them on my marine tanks for 'food on the hoof'.
