Feel like this kind of stupid question but I've ordered copepods in the past from Algae Barn and they didn't have a smell.
I've ordered two sets of copepods from aquarium Depot and the first ones I returned because I'm pretty sure they were dead in the second ones also showed up dead I think.
The bag smells really bad and I don't see any movement in the bag. They arrived with very little water and mostly just a wet sponge.
This isn't normal right? I shouldn't stick that wet stinky sponge in my tank and some stragglers are going to crawl out of there?
I just don't want to throw these out of it's just the way it looks/smells usually.
