looking for copepods to seed new tank

[mdrumm]

I already added tigger pods. Any recommendations on where to get some good pods?

elite reef has some from reef nutrition.

 

[mdrumm]

yep. already added those. Looking for more diversity.

No Idea, but if you end up ordering let me know. My pod base has never fully recovered from red bug treatment.

I can give you some pelagic copepods, Mike.
They'll most likely end up as food though. They won't find enough
to eat in a normal tank.

Mike,

I ordered some from a lady on-line out of Washington (I think) to seed my tank. Adele somebody.

It was a pretty good deal and worked like a charm.

Probably Dr. Adelaide Rhodes.

She sells from this website: http://www.essentiallivefeeds.com/index.html

See if Gresham will get you and order of Parvocalanus crassirostris, Tigriopus californicus, & Mysid Shrimp. I would definitely pitch in. Or I can see about bugging him.
