hello everyone,

does anyone have an existing culture of copepods, or even amphipod grammarus which is the 'in majority' photo posted above?

i would very much like to seed my small refugium with them and would like to buy some or perhaps swop some coral frags even if anyone has them. pls kindly contact me at 9-028-4368.

thanks all,

cheers,

ian

how to catch them

my tank super a lot

i guess i always feed e coral pythoplankton thts y so many...

got 3 in overflow box 1cm...

lolx... beri cute... like cockaroach babies...

my tank mostly high fin gobies yashias ###### shrimp n pair clown no wonder nobody wanna eat em...

but do they feed on algae?

cus over one nite i suddenly lost one whole patch of 20 X 30cm patch of algae on a stone i guess they just gave birth a lot of babies at KK...

thought my mama took e rock out n wash....but it was like damn clean but still have coraline algae behind left... reli interesting...

toh, found copepods in my tank. . and yet i didn't do anything to promote their growth. so i guess patience will pay off. .
