I culture Tigriopus genus copepods for my system and prefer feeding them over flake or frozen. Every several months my staggered cultures sync and produce more than I need so time to clear them out!

I have 8 oz bottles LOADED with hundreds of copepods for $15 per bottle. Shipping is USPS Priority (usually 1-3 day delivery) and is $7 - $14 (actual shipping cost) depending on your location. Please pm me how many bottles you would like, your address/ZIP and I will calculate shipping cost and give you my paypal address. Copepods will live in the bottles for 5-7 days. No need for breathable bags or expensive, overnight shipping.

I will ship these out on Tuesday for Wednesday - Friday delivery (depending where you live).

Limited supply available.


Here is some feedback from previous pod sales:

This is a good representation of the visible adults in a sample bottle. There are many more small ones that the camera didn't pickup. A majority of the adults are carrying eggs!

No, their color is actually due to the concentration/density of phytoplankton within the cultures. They are grown in monocultures in my basement in Ohio. :)

Would definitely recommend. Received my 3 bottles, packaged well, fair price, good product. Was not home at time of delivery, had neighbor grab package and put inside, all copepods were super active when I removed them from the box and acclimated the following day. Will order again.

I have some dense bottles of copepods for Monday shipping. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks!
I definitely want to order some from you but I have a question I’m setting up a new tank should I wait until after the cycle to add pods is there a sweet spot when adding id like to get them in and established before I put my fish in.
