frozen brine shrimp. It’s for my saltwater fish. For my freshwater I take a bowl of their tank water and melt the cube down and pour it in. I wasn’t sure if it is the same for saltwater or not.
I feed them flakes and pellets as well I just had some left over from rasing guppy fry and thought that they might like a treat.

I’m thinking about buying 3 dwarf puffers; 2 females and 1 male according to the gender limit. They’re freshwater fish, and I’m going to have them in a 5 gallon tank with fake plants and maybe 2 amano shrimps to eat/clean up leftover food and stuff on the bottom of the tank. I really need to know the fastest way to cycle a 5 gallon aquarium, and cheap too. (I’m an impatient person and I’d really like to experience my first time with raising fish during my spring break.) I really need someone to go over the process with me thoroughly, because the way people explain it over the internet makes it seem that they expect me to be a professional at it, so they use this little science words like PH 5.0 or something blah blah blah. Sorry if I seem like an idiot, but I’m a 100% first-timer at raising my own fish, so any extra beginners tips would be highly appreciated! 
Oh and btw, what should I put at the bottom of the tank? Gravel? Sand? Nothing?
I have 2 pictus catfish and I am wondering what kind of live food I can find that is freshwater. I went and bought brine shrimp and realized afterwards that it was saltwater. If i were to get more brine shrimp, is there any way to get them out of the saltwater and into the freshwater without harming the fish?

I live in Canada, and it’s pretty difficult to find anything that’s normally slightly uncommon in the states, here. I need more fish stores.
Are there any websites that have directories of aquarium/fishkeeping stores in Canada? And I don’t just mean chains, either – in fact, I could really, really benefit from knowing a specialty shop – I’m looking for some freshwater shrimp right now.
Yeah, the Yellow Pages seems to be the only valid choice, and even then, the only store I saw was PJ’s Pet Express, which doesn’t seem very reputable.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please do suggest them.
