Four species blend of copepods available. New pricing
Live copepods, brine shrimp and phytoplankton for sale/trade
please read the whole ad for all pertinent information on delivery/pickup/prices etc.
a blend of 4 different species from nauplii(baby, mostly invisible without a microscope) to adult(up to 2mm), all life stages. Both Pelagic (swimmers) and Benthic (rock crawlers)
Feed your dragonettes, seahorses, mandarins, pipefish, anthias wrasse, seed your refugium or ATS. The cornerstone of a solid clean up crew.
Tigriopus californicus - palegic(swimmer)
Large(relatively easy to see 1mm adults) , reproduce readily in your tank under many conditions. they can tolerate and thrive at any specific gravity your tank can throw at them... detritus and algae eater but will appreciate phytoplankton dosing.
Apocyclops panamensis - Adults are benthic (substrate attached) and juveniles are pelagic/planktonic
High nutrition value for fish and filter feeders.
As small as 45 micron juveniles meaning hard for even fish to see anything but adults. This means they can do their job and breed mostly unmolested. The adults are the largest of all the pods. Up to 2.5-3mm in length
Oithona colcarva - pelagic, detrivores
80-100 microns can reproduce and double every 4-7 days given enough food and optimal conditions
Tisbe biminiensis 70-900 microns, algae and detrivore eater.
