Where to buy live copepods in Canada ??

[Oceanic]

Pods have arrived! I am now back from Florida and have the Pods now available for those that contacted me looking for them. I will see if I can PM all of you.

The Pods will live for weeks in the jars.

We carry both the

Tigger Pods

and
DT's Copepods

You can see the tigger pods moving in the jar and can watch them feed on rotifers and plankton.

This thread is old, but I will offer my opinion anyways. Tigger-Pods are not a suitable food source for mandarins. Your Mandarin may eat them (if he can catch them), but in most cases this is not a sustainable solution. You will spend a lot of money replenishing your stock.

Mandarins like to pick off the rocks, while Tigger-Pods are largely free swimming. The real problem with Tigger-Pods is that they get blown around by the flow in our tanks and very quickly end up in the skimmer or dead by way of powerhead/return pump.

My suggestion - buy a bottle and dump it in your sump. Check hourly and watch as the population drops. By the next day they will be hard to spot. Within a couple of days, they will be gone.

There are exceptions. If your display tank is very low flow (ie. seahorses) it might work. Although it's still not an ideal food source for Mandarins.

Unfortunately I don't have a sump, and I just got a green mandarin. In this case which live pod food should I buy then?
I have a red sea max 34g and about 40lbs of rock, how long can the mandarin survive before I found new food?
