where can ai find brine shrimp in wyoming wallmart or petco or some where els,how much salt water is needed?

and will it effect other tropical fish because i dont know how because im just a beginner on breeding fish

What foods besides tropical fish flakes are healthy for guppies to have in their diets?

I know dried blood worms and baby brine shrimp are good, but if you are unable to get your hands on that at the moment, what are some other foods that guppies enjoy and are healthy, particulary foods that have greater amounts of vitamin D? Are their any households foods or vegetables that go good with a tropical fish flake diet when cut into very small peices? I just want my guppies to have a more nutritious, healthy, and exciting diet.

Thanks for all input, advice, etc.

My guppies are swimming upside down, spiralling, their equilibrium is off.?

My guppies are acting more strange than usual. I have a 20 gallon tank set up as a winter time haven for my small tropical fish. In summer they thrive in an outdoor pond. This particular aquarium has been set up for about 3 months now. The guppies are mixed in with many Mollies, also breeers and a few cordroy(?) catfish who are the tank janitors. There are fish in all developmental stages within the tank. I just cleared up a fungal infection with Melaffix, which worked great but my Guppies are now swimming erratically, either spiralling quickly, swimming upside down, “scraping” themselves on the bottom etc….It seems that the affected are starting this at maybe a month or 6 weeks of age and older. I do regular water changes. I feed live brine shrimp as a supplement. I have added “Shimmy blocks” within the last week to help condition the water, but ammonia levels and ph are kept under tight control anyway and the mollies and catfish seem fine. Help!
