The eggs are usually sold in cans and vacuum sealed. Smaller quantities sometimes are sold in jars or even vials. Were you buying eggs or live shrimp?

I bought live shrimp, as I said, the eggs are relatively hard to come by here. I heard there are some for sale at a place outside bangkok so I'll go check it out.

In that case, you should look for brine shrimp cysts harvest from Bohai Bay China. Otherwise, you can try those from Russia or Kazakhstan.

I know they sell the live adult ones in bags. I dont think your fish can catch any disease from the brine water that they come in. It could be overfeeding on your part causing the water quality to degrade which inturn makes your fish sick.

Probably, I found some cysts for sale harvest locally today, however, there is no point since I came back and the eggs were all gone........

I think you can order cysts quite easily on ebay, otherwise brineshrimpdirect.com deliver all over the world (probably only larger quantities though).
