I'd like to try some as well. Kinda hard though without any contact info.

I did manage to find a nice pic of Kevin from Red Coral in his hard hat on that site though.

i did exactly that for my mandarin and he is growing really well now. I got my copepods from thehotfish.com in Ontario (i live in Kelowna). They came packed in a cold pack and were fine. I dumped the whole bottle in my refugium and now it looks (3 weeks later) like bug ville in there!

thanks for the link. I've got a new 15 gallon and I'd like to get my pod count up.

What amount of pods do you think I'd need? My refugium is 9.3G and my display is 165. Id be getting two mandarins once I feel my copepod community is sustainable for them.

I buy mostly all my equipment and supplies from JL aquatics in BC. Great service, amazing shipping. Best of all? Cheapest prices in Canada.

I tryed these 3 times , followed instructions to the "T" and they never survived.

Really? That's odd because I've heard great success stories from members on other forums about this product.

Did you put them right into your main display or into your refugium? I would have called the company to ask what the deal was if 3 bottles showed poor results.
