Live Copepods 2.5k 500ml
These are benthic (substrate-dwelling) type copepods. These copepods are typically in the size range of 80um to 400um, depending upon the life stage.
This particular species also has planktonic (free-swimming) life stages, so it can be utilized by all types of organisms as a natural food source, not those that pick at rockwork, etc., or sift substrates. Copepods can be an essential part of your clean-up crew, helping to clean up detritus and algae in marine environments.
USES: Harpacticoid Copepod cultures can be used as seeding cultures for new tank setups or for reseeding/restocking existing tanks' sumps after disturbance (moving, disease treatment, crashes, etc.).
They can also be used as a natural supplemental live feed for marine fish, particularly fussy feeders such as mandarin gobies, sea horses, etc,. as well as other plankton-eating fish or invertebrates.
