Most independently owned stores here still carry them.I can't speak for the big box chain type pet stores because I rarely enter them.

most feeder guppies and also feeder rosie reds are diseased or carry diseases, usually are in over crowded uncared for conditions.. ..so many people opt to breed their own or just do not feed live..... feeding sick feeders to your fish of course results in your fish being sick or even dying.. contaminating your tank with bacteria and viral diseases and parasites..

^Sadly,this is nothing new and has been the case of feeders,at least in this area,for years.
