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.

Do you have to put the cheato in a fuge or can you put it in your display tank?

I like the tigger pods, good size for the smaller fishes... the amphipods are a bit big for some of the fishes...

You can also build a pod pile if you have room. Just pile up LR rubble covered with a small strawberry basket (or not).

I notice that when I take rocks out to frag, etc, more often than not, I find pods squirming out.

Grow chaeto in a fuge if you can. It's a bit awkward in the main display because it is free floating, so it needs containment. Michika has a pop bottle idea, check out her thread if a separate fuge isn't an option this point. I tried growing some in a suspended eggcrate basket, it did really well until someone (probably my rabbitfish) figured out it was good to eat and poof one day it was just gone.

Anyhow, for live copepods... they just appear on their own, literally. As long as you have real live rock they will come. With all synthetic or previously dried live rock, you'll need to seed them with some real live rock still.

PS. Forgot to mention if you're looking for chaeto I can set you up with some as I need to do some pruning of mine.. let me know if you're interested..
