Just starting a copepod culture to feed my scooter blennys a little better. (they eat frozen but I think copepods are more healthy) any ways i was wondering who sells the best copepods at a decent price?

if you are culturing, algaebarn has the cleanest cultures i've bought... everywhere else I wind up with brown flatworms all over the damn place

also, they now have apocalypse pods with a faster reproductive cycle, and i have females with eggs in the tank. i also culture in 3 tea jars to re-seed the tank for a bluestripe pipe

 

tigger pods will wind up in the filter.. tisbe and apoc will stay in the tank

 

also, they ship free over $40 now and the packaging is top notch

 

I also buy my algae (paste) from brine shrimp dirrect (glycerin free) glycerin free is mandatory

and a silicone "mini" ice tray off ebay

the nano can be frozen and last 6 months.. put the cubes in little pill baggies

 

with apoc pods, you want a green tint you can see thru, or it just rots in the bottom of the jar

I once heard about algae barn and they had a ton of discounts around new years. I just try to keep my ordering low in the winter due to the fact that where i live its never over 15 in the winter. I did just buy some pytho from Todds pods and he said he'd throw in 8 OZ of pods in my order for me because he had to hold it. so If that doesn't go well il order from algae barn.

Check out Reef Cleaners. John is super awesome!
