Scott, you might have better luck with freeze dried foods which should be locally available. Daphnia and Red Worms should be available from your local pet store. They may take a few days to acclimate, but be patient and do not overfeed!
Be sure to monitor closely for behavior changes which could indicate enviornmental problems. Often the sand, rocks or plants we put in can cause a problem. Be sure and change about 25% of the water weekly. If it is coming from a municipal supply, you will have to treat the water with a conditioner to remove the chemicals added during purification. This is commonly available at your pet supply store.
Have fun
Jim
