What do you need them for? Most stores carry them anyway, even pecto has them. If your just looking for fish to feed an anemone, basically anything fresh at the local fish market will be a better alternative.

I buy mine from Petco or Petsmart. In the summer, I catch mine own:) They are good to add variety to the diet. One advantage is you can feed the whole fish (guts, scales, bones) vs a fish fillet.

Whole krill or raw shrimp is what I like using

I've been using the raw shrimp, thought I would try something different for a bit, but they probably don't care hahaha.

Honestly I'd go with the small fish you'd find in Asian markets like smelt, and freez them yourself. Otherwise to with whole shrimp and chop them up a bit; the stuff in the head should be included for invert eating species.

Just an idea here. Anyone within reasonable drive from the ocean can try live amphipods. At low tide find a rocky area and start flipping over rocks. You can possibly get 20 in a handful if you're quick and they're plentiful. Transport in a bucket of water. Can be kept in a small tank w/ out heat or anything but a bit of habitat - weed / rock / whatever and nice thing is they can be gut loaded (fed) and then fed to your fish or other livestock.
Not saying to use as a staple, although you certainly could, but just as a treat occasionally.
