Copepods - Tisbe or Tigger

[kilnakorr]

Hi

I've tried to find some info on how to distinguish between Tisbe and Tigger pods.
Can anyone tell me if and how to best tell these types of pods apart?

Go onto website:
Algae Barn
They cover topic of all pods

Thanks.
I was hoping for some 'expert' that could explain how to tell them apart.
Even with the pictures from Algae Barn, and studying one under a microscope I can't really say what I'm looking at.

Any distinct way they move or behave?

Tigger pods are more free swimmers found in the water column. Tisbe pods stay closer to the rock work where Mandarinslike to feed.Jun

Tisbe is what you want to seed a tank . Tigs are a great feed source as they free swim
