Pods from IPSF

[DaveMorris]

Well it says that this is a "product" review forum as opposed to an equipment review, so since they are a product I though that it would be appropriate to review them here. I just got my order of livestock from Indo Pacific Sea Farms and among the items that I ordered were these amphipods.

$19.99 for varying sizes, at least 25 specimens.

It sort of takes the guess work out of wondering if you just bought a bottle of water or if there actually is something living in it. I can not recommend them highly enough. Excellent quality and service.

what is the relative size of the pods?

What exactly do they do??

[DaveMorris]

The biggest one is about a 1/4" long.

Pods reproduce in your tank and certain fish eat them such as Mandarins, Wrasses, etc.

did you get any of the snails?

[DaveMorris]

Strombus snails, Nerite Grazers, Micro hermits, sandbed clams, amphipods, and bristle worms. Great bugs from IPSF.

Do they have any pictures on their site of what they sell?

The cartoons are cute and all, but some real pics would be nice

There reef tune up package is the best. Skip the micro hermits and have them substitute with nerites. Their stuff lasts a long time. I order from them once a year. Great macroalgae variety packs as well.

I have no idea if they have pics. It's just snails, crabs, pods, clams, starfish, etc. I already know what those look like.

Cool, think I'm going to grab a bottle of those from IPSF as well as copepods from copepods.com.
I want as many and different varieties as I can for my pair of mandy's.
How long was it for delivery?

[DaveMorris]

Gerald will ship overnight, but he typically wants at least a day in advance to put the order together. I emailed the order on Tuesday and he shipped Thursday for Friday.
