Sorry to bring up an old post, but if you're still looking, try your local Petsmart/Petco. I know that is normally considered taboo, bit it may surprise you.
My wife and I stopped by a Petsmart (we had to pick up some hamster food) and I had to go look at the fish (ok so I'm obsessed) and I noticed a tank FULL of MTS. There had to have been 100 of them from 1/4 inch to a full inch. I asked how much they sold for and the gal looked at me like I was crazy. She told me I could have every one in the store, even begged me to take them. LOL! So who knows, may be a way to go.

I could mail you a dozen easily if you can't find any in any stores. I got mine for free from walmart of all places.
8 Rasboras, 3 Swordtails and several Ramshorn snails.
My 10 gallon above is the reason I was considering MTS's. As you can see, vacuuming would be a challenge and I really do not have room for bottom feeders. I had a few ghost shrimp, but never see the darn things and was probably the cause of their demise whilst vacuuming. I have Ramshorn snails, but they do not turn over the substrate as MTS's would. I keep hearing how prolific they are and hence my hesitation. Perhaps you can provide some insight into your own experiences SnakeIce. Thanks
