Well, Petco and petsmart do carry frozen and freeze dried for sure, so you don't need to hatch them to feed them to your oscar, and it seems like a bit of a pain to do so for a food that is not very nutritious, actually.

Still, its not like you're only feeding brine so if you really want live you could try Blue Moon Corals in Vacaville which has live enriched brine shrimp:

Otherwise just order online

Or, I suppose, you could just buy some sea monkeys, although they're more in a state of suspended animation than eggs.

i have lived in vacaville my WHOLE live and i never knew that was here and its not like this is a very big town.

Yeah I know vacaville well.

About 15 years ago me and my buddy Raul used to run those unlicensed Canadian modified plastic tank 'action' decor from saskatchwan that used to flood the market (ever seen that sherbert green BG13 skeleton/pirate bubbler thing for sale on ebay? That's me) down to salem, Wa., then to Oakland and we had a FEMA Mini mobile home trailer in vacaville as a quick stopover if we thought we had customs on us. I'm loooong retired, though.

Anyways, It's a home based business so its probably not very visible. Seemed to get favorable reviews from people who have visited, though.

i know right where it is i will be going there in the morning

I would definitely call first if you haven't already b/c often those 'home based' businesses are by appointment only or keep odd hours. Also to see if they have them in stock.
