hello R2R
I have a question regarding copepods , I have a spotted mandarin (lsd pitvis) .. I was told too feed him copepods .. and that they would also be good for my tank ..so I feed copepods roughly every other day to my tank .. I put them in 30 mins after lights out.. have been doing this for the last three months or so .. is it possible too over feed your tank with them .. ?? My mandarin also eats frozen mysis shrimp too when he can see them .. I've had problems the last 2 months or so with elevated nitrate levels .. mine alwYs seem too hang around the 20 ppm regardless of 20 % water changes every week .. could the water from the copepods be causing this ? Frozen food I always wash with tap water .. but the copepods are too small too empty in a net too wash .. for the rest all my parameters are good and my tank is doing well .!
