    From what I've read Baker's yeast is a live yeast used in baking and should be avoided for nutritional supplimentation and Brewers yeast is used in fermentation (Ie. spirits such as beer).

    what do you mean by avoided for nutritional supplimentation, do you mean this should not be feed to filter feeders.

    If that is the case what would be the best place to find brewers yeast and how much would it cost to get some?

    As far as finding it in regards to the brewers yeast you can google it -shopping. Here's a quick link to a company that I have recently dealt with for other products. http://www.luckyvitamin.com/item/?i...2873&utm_campaign=googlebase&site=google_base

    I was looking at feed it to brine shrimp to help keep them longer and may be even get a few to adult size in order to feed to my Bettas(adult breeding stock), only going to feed babies to adult guppies and fry(both guppy fry and Betta fry). I was also looking at get some "Water flees" or Daphnia.

    Also I'm looking at what like a brine shrimp but a freshwater type that is called fairy shrimp.
