I went to Sunrise Tropicals yesterday in Daley City, Ca and was quite impressed with his store. His tanks are emaculate, his fish (all Asiian imports were nice and healthy, and most of his tanks had electronic ph meters on them.
He has excellent sources in Asia for bringing in beautiful fish. The owner, Toney Peng is quite knowledgable and much to my surprise, he sold me a half pound of Black Worms for $5.50. I think he sells them for $10 a pound. With some cold packs I think they could be shipped by US priorty mail for about $4.00. So what's with the $30 a pound pricing that we are hearing about? His phone number is (650) 994-2609. If you call, only deal with Toney.

Great price and 4.00 shipping is better.
Did he say he would ship and guarantee
them to be alive after 2-4 days shipping priority mail?
Who sells for 30.00 a pound?

Hi Bernie,

http://aquaticfoods.com/worms.html

Dan sells them $21.95 lb, with overnight shipping included. Unless Sunrise treats those worms just right before they leave his place, you'll wind up with mush :), and at 2-4 days priority , it'll be some really yucky Mush!...

If however he ships a pound over night, I think the price will be the same or more than Dans.

JMO,

I don't think ice packs can last 2-4 days.
