Looking to buy some online and can't find a website. Thanks

I've gotten lots of things from algaebarn.com But I"m not sure about isopods specifically. Sorry :( The guys at algae barn are really great, you may wanna give them a call and ask. If they dont have it, I'm sure they will point you in the right direction.
 
You can get live Tigger & Tisbe pods from algaebarn.com. These are the kind pipefish and mandarins eat.
 
I've had good luck with both getyourpods.com and algaebarn.com. I recommend Algae Barn for high quality live phytoplankton and copepods, however their shipping prices have gone up so you may want to double up with someone local and split an order.
 
I just ordered some from AQuarium Depot. They should be here soon.

What would be the proper way to introduce them to my sump? Do they need to be acclimated? Do I just net them out of the shipping bags and dump them in?

I have a process for acclimating fish and corals, but not for bugs

I have bought mine from my lfs, but i'm sure you've already checked yours. :D
Well, it turns out they had them in the complete wring section haha. I found them......over in the fresh water side of the store. Never been to that side, its.......very dull and boring.
 
lol, thank goodness, mine has them sitting on the counter where they take all my money. :rolleyes:
