Ultimate Pod Pack – Three Bottles of Live Copepods for a Thriving Reef
The Ultimate Pod Pack includes three individual bottles of live copepods: Tigriopus, Apocyclops, and Tisbe. Each bottle contains a single species cultivated for health, stability, and nutritional value. Together, this trio provides a broad range of copepod sizes, behaviors, and ecological roles to support biodiversity and natural feeding in your reef aquarium.
What’s Included?
-
1 Bottle of Tigriopus Copepods Tigriopus are large, hardy copepods that thrive on aquarium surfaces and rocks. They graze on diatoms and slimes such as dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria, supporting tank cleanliness. High in lipids and PUFAs, they contribute to vibrant coloration and overall health in fish and invertebrates.
-
1 Bottle of Apocyclops Copepods Apocyclops are mid-sized copepods that freely swim throughout the water column. They consume detritus, ciliates, algae, and bacteria, helping maintain ecological balance. Their high lipid content supports healthy development in marine fish larvae.
-
1 Bottle of Tisbe Copepods Tisbe are small substrate-dwelling copepods ideal for picky feeders such as mandarins, seahorses, fish larvae, and filter feeders. They feed on waste and microalgae while reproducing continuously, offering a steady and nutritious live food source.
A Versatile Solution for Feeding and Cleaning
The Ultimate Pod Pack delivers a balanced combination of copepod species that enhance feeding responses, support coral and fish health, and naturally assist with waste management. By introducing all three species, you establish a diverse and self-sustaining microfauna population in your reef.
Sustainably Cultivated for Quality
All copepods are sustainably cultured at our Edmonton-based facility and are fed high-quality live phytoplankton. Each species is maintained separately to ensure purity, health, and reliable performance in your aquarium.
Simple Care Instructions
- Acclimate each bottle to your tank’s water conditions before release.
- Introduce copepods to your tank or refugium at night when fish are less active.
- Feed live phytoplankton regularly if storing or culturing the copepods.
- Apocyclops and Tisbe should be oxygenated daily and kept at stable room temperature.
- Tigriopus should be stored in the refrigerator and oxygenated daily.
- Bottles have a shelf life of up to 2 months with proper oxygenation.
The Ultimate Pod Pack provides three individual species, each fulfilling unique roles within your reef ecosystem. Boost biodiversity, natural feeding behavior, and overall tank health with this complete copepod bundle.
