    Is it possible to order copepods / brine shrimp online and then store / refrigerate them for later use when they arrive?

      The brine shrimp you might put in the tank will not be able to breed or reproduce, they are normally just a food product.Pods on the other hand will grow in good conditions to a large colony size!

    I purchased some phytoplankton, when I went in vacation and my fish feeder overfed my fish….rather than the nitrates going up … the plankton bloomed.I couldn't see the other side of the tank.With that I have thousands of fairly large copepods..or amphpods.Do I still need to feed my clown fish regular food..or are these live critters enough?

    No BS.This really works!!I have very little experience and my tank is only 2 months old and I've been able to keep my Mandarin since the first week.I have a healthy population of PODs thanks to these guys.Only wish I had more room for a real Refugium but for now the back of my tank is doing the trick.
