Tisbe Pod tank

[MFChop]

My dragonet is already eating myst and some pellets but I do catch him on the hunt all the time. So I want to ensure a steady supply of copepods just encase. I have a 20 gallon now with 20lb or LR.

 

I plan to get a 2 Gallon tank, some LR, air-stone, and a light. Once its cycled add a Tisbe Pods

 

Any suggestions / input ?

If you want to grow pods, then grow pods. Ditch the LR and the light, just go phyto --> pods infront of a window in a 10 gallon or a bucket.

Veng is right about ditching the LR and light. Ditch the airstone too. Don't worry about putting it in a window though, just put it wherever it fits. Tisbes don't really like light anyway. Keep the water tinted slightly green with phyto and feed crushed flakes or pellets once a week. I keep mine in 2 liter bottles to make it easier to collect them, but any container works. Get something bigger than 2 gallons though. 5-10 would be better
