I purchased tiger pods two weeks ago. Floated the bottle in my tank for 25 mins then released about half in the lighted fuge and half in the dt with lights off @ 80.5 degrees. All were swimming around happy and I still see many crawling around today.
They won't just die, they do well. There were plenty of variables for their death in my breeding of them. Possibly they may not breed well in warmer temperatures. The biggest thing is they are bigger and don't hide as tisbe and others do so they will get picked off by fish more readily. The hiding allows tisbe and others time to reproduce before they are eaten. Keep in mind this is my observation and not cited.
