Copepods

Thanx for all the advice guys there is no where in Australia that i can find that sells pods so i will have to explore other options i was thinking live brine shrimp might take the pressure of the pods and give them a chance to breed up in numbers. Anyway i will keep researching thanx again for all the advice:wink:

They are pretty hardy, so they could last a couple of days in shipping. However, the shipping costs to Australia would be pretty high!

Refugium with cheato and some rubble rock. You'll have more pods than you'll know what to do with. I never bought pods and my Mandarin was huge after i bought it. You could see hundreds of pods inn my fuge, and that was just at the very edge of the glass.

Sorry for my ignorance but what is cheato:squigglemouth:

It's a macro algae. Looks kinda like green spaghetti.

All great suggestions! However, as far as live brine, the mandarins are slow hunters and may have a hard time getting the brine.
