I culture copepods for my system and prefer feeding them over flake or frozen. Every few months my staggered cultures sync and produce more than I need and I need to clear them out!

I have 8 oz bottles LOADED with hundreds of adult copepods for $15 per bottle. Shipping is USPS Priority (usually 1-2 day delivery) and is $6 - $12 (actual shipping cost) depending on your location. Please pm me how many bottles you would like, your address/ZIP and I will calculate shipping cost and give you my paypal address. Copepods will live in the bottles for 5-7 days. No need for breathable bags or expensive, overnight shipping.

I'd love to ship these out on Monday for Wednesday delivery before it gets too hot to ship.

Limited supply available.

I would guess 300-600 adults? For every adult I would say there are 3-10 juveniles. If you look at the zoomed in photo above you can see the larger red adults. The specs are the juveniles but there are a lot more you would need magnification to see. So thousands total? I hope that helps.
 
Sorry guys. Unfortunately I don't have any right now. I will post up in several weeks when I have more.
 
I'll take 2 more bottles when you have them ready. :) pm and I will send paypal. Thx.
 
I bought 2 of these bottles of pods at the LEAR swap. They are definitely worth every penny. The bottle was full of swimming pods. Great seller!
 
Give me a bit everyone, and I will post up when I have more.

Thanks for the generous plug! I'm glad you were happy.
 
I am interested as well. I just hope I see the post when you say they are ready
 
Looks like I will have three or four extra bottles. I just changed out my cultures so this will be it for a bit. I can ship out tomorrow. PM my your ZIP and I will calculate shipping.

Thanks!
 
Do you have a write up anywhere of how you do your cultures? If not you should :)
 
I wish I had read this earlier in the morning, as I just placed an order for pods and would have rather helped a hobbyist.

Anyway, I want to breed and culture pods, any tips or advice? I have a 1 gal glass jar, but am willing to go a little bigger (up to 2.5gal). What do you recommend?

Thank you.
 
Sorry guys, waiting on some payments before all are accounted for. I don't want to make any promises to more people until I know what is spoken for. I will update soon.

No problem at all! I'm all about spreading the love. No secrets here. I have had my cultures set up like Frank's article since 2004.
