Where can I get copepods?
Where can I find some copepods for my tank? I just set up a 230 gallon tank and need to get some copepods to build a population.
Also, can I just put them in my display tank and let them breed or do I have to breed them in a seperate tank?

There are some clowns, and an anemity, lots of snails and crabs, some zoos. Probably around 250 - 300 lbs of lr.
I currently dont have any cheato or a fuge. Can I just order a bottle and drop them in? or is there a better way.

I buy the Tigger Pods from J&L... I also feed phyto in my tank as a precaution to make sure there's food from the bottom of the food chain so to speak...
I usually open up the whole bottle and wedge it into a rock crevice, move it 2 or 3 times over the hour then pour what remaining out into the tank.

I wouldn'y buy the tiger pods... very very small.
Get some cheato or somehting from another tank in your area, then drop it in an area where it has some shelter, the more the merrier.... They will reproduce naturally. TJ
