Silversides

[Invisible Snake]

What brand of silversides do you guys buy for your garters?

San Francisco Bay Brand Sally's Frozen Silversides. I got mine from Petco.

Either San Fransisco Bay Brand or Pro Salt.

Does anyone know where i could get silversides in Britain?

[ProXimuS]

The ones I have are about 1-1.5 inches long.

Thanks Emily

Yeah they vary in length. I can get anywhere from 1 inch up to 3 inches depending on brand. Im sure you would have silversides in Britain considering that you are not allowed to use live feeder fish. I would run by a local fish store and have a talk with someone there. They use them for the predatory fish.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding appropriate Silversides in Toronto. I am currently using up my last pack of OmegaOne, but they apparently aren't true Silversides. It seems all the places that used to carry them don't anymore. I have checked multiple locations of PJ's Pets, PetSmart, and Big Als but nobody has them. It seems that they are regularly available at a lot of Asian supermarkets for much cheaper. I will have to check it out and post a picture to find out if they are real Silversides. I have read that the ones at Supermarkets are more likely to be smelt.
