Wait re-read the question again

You are lookin for live ?? Not frozen. ??

In that case golden aquarium might carry some, been a while since I visited them though.

New fish carries frozen mysis and rods and such kind
 
I feed live blackworms to all my fish. SW fish get them soaked in Selcon & Vita-chem & the worms are fed crushed flakes & plankton. All my fish are nice & thick-bodied & very healthy! I buy the worms at Coral Reef, 1lb for <$25.
 
There is a little store called Jules Pets in Logan Sq that carry live brine shrimp. call first though

Live brine are an excellent option for fish who aren't eating yet. Adult brine can easily be enriched with Selcon in under 2 hours just by adding a few drops to their holding cup/tank. They will be just as nutritious as any black worms after being gut loaded. In fact, Advanced Aquarist recommends AGAINST using live black worms in marine aquaria.

The same is true of adult brine: they are largely devoid of nutritional value when you purchase them at the local petshop, and it is important to enrich them before feeding brine shrimp to your fish. For live adult brine shrimp, it is relatively simple to enrich them with a HUFA supplement (such as Selcon or Zoecon), and that greatly enhances the nutritional value of these animals as a food for your aquarium pets. Brine shrimp become more efficient feeders as they grow, and as a result, larger Artemia can be enriched in shorter times due to that increased efficiency of filter-feeding. In fact, although live Artemia can benefit from periods of enrichment equivalent to those of the nauplii, adults can be significantly enriched in as little as about 1-2 hours of feeding in a HUFA supplement. Be enriching live brine prior to them being introduced to your reef aquarium, you not only provide a popular treat to your animals, but also gain the maximum nutritional benefit from feeding these foods to your pets.

I remember seeing some small live shrimp in the back of old orchard aquarium for sale a while back, but I'm not sure if they were mysis or some freshwater shrimp, I would call.
 
I got food at Jules Pet Shop @2214 N Milwaukee and funny thing is, they have more stuff then some fish stores. They have Brine and even garlic...

My Anthia still refused to eat. So I'm not officially done going out of my way to feed them.

Nutrimar Ova is the golden standard for finicky fish to start eating. It's pretty much on national back order because of the water temps at the collection site this year, but [MENTION=9]AQUAPROS[/MENTION] had a few flat packs left when we were there. I grabbed one just to leave sealed just in case. Might want to call and see if he has any left. Some osff and butterfly keepers would probably kill to get their hands on it!
