These are  bottles of tisbe, apocyclops, tigriopus, euterpina, pseudodiaptomus and parvocalanus pods.
 
Copepods are Microcrustaceans that are an extremely important component of nearly every aquatic ecosystem on Earth. They are both the most abundant and the most nutricious in the animal world.
 
We chose these six species for their unique benefits they add and we feed them several live strains of phytoplankton to ensure they are gut loaded with vital nutrients to help with coral tissue and color as well as being vital sources of protein for fish!
Besides being great fish/coral food
Each species plays a part in keeping your tank clean by feeding on nuisance algae and other organic waste in the water column and around the tank. Many species will continue to repopulate in the tank and make it easier to keep your tank healthy and happy!
Copepods vary in size from just a few microns up to 53+ microns. What you can see with the naked eye are fully formed breeding adult's. Juveniles and larval stages can't be seen by the naked eye and need to be under a range of 100×-300x microscope to be seen.
Temperature acclimation can be done by floating the bottles or leaving them to sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes. We strongly suggest feeding our live Phytoplankton blend nightly when these pods come out to feed to increase pod populations.
