I_am_Elmo Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Is there any advantages or disadvantages of having either feeder shrimp or copepods in the display tank as a live food for the fish to feed when they're hungry? And also, what is good and where would one find these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 feeder shrimps (glass shrimps) you get from rockpools- I don't have any in my tank but I know quite a few guys who do. They are good scavangers and I think Angels will also pick them off. copepods need to be introduced into your tank through live rock etc. Have a look for them at night time with a torch- the zip around the bottom of the tank especially around any algae if you have any. If you need a starter colony or something give me a pM and i'll put some sponge in my sump to get a colony going you can have. Pods are a choice feed for Mandarins and small wrasses so it pays to have a good colony going before you buy one (Mandarins especially- as they can be fussy about food) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
