Pods!

rubertoe93 · Feb 3, 2021

So my tank is going through fallow period right now,
But before it was I was adding copepods for my manderin, unfortunately he didn’t make it, I added the remaining packs of pods to my tank, and now I can’t see for them! Is there such a thing as having to much of them whilst I don’t have any fish in the tank?

As long as you keep feeding them the tank will be fine. They like film algae and phyto a lot. If they have no food then the population will decline to "0"

When I start a new tank, the first thing that I add is pods. This gives them the opportunity to be established before adding fish. There is no harm in having too many, in fact that is often a goal for me to have as many as possible. I have even used “Ocean Magik” to feed the pods, and it seems to help keep them healthy and happy.
