Help with finding copepods for sale...

[slakker]

I know this is bumping an old thread, but instead of starting a new one, anyone know if anyone is selling Pods in the lower mainland? I was at King Eds today and the fellow there mentioned he thought someone on Canreef was selling cultivating and selling them locally.

Just buy some Chaeto from someone, it will come with hitchhiker pods, and it will be much cheaper!

Right now my female mandarin which I got 4-5 months ago is in my 29g but it is trained to eat blood worms. I just picked up a fat male mandarin and I hope its going to learn from the female but until it does, I want to make sure it has enough copepods to eat. I also have a 72g with a 20g sump and fuge but its still fairly new (1 month) and only has 40lbs of live sand and about 90lbs cured rock in it right now but I dont see the pods on the glass like I do on my 29g yet.
