Copepods

[A.Percula]

Hello!

I recently got a mix of Tigriopus and Tisbe Copepods ranging from juvenile to adult sizes, but I do not know how to harvest them and leave the larvae and juveniles behind so that they can continue their biological process.

I read people use sieves, but I am not sure about the appropriate size (microns) to capture them. I also want to know which size would capture everything (larvar and eggs) so that I can perform water changes.

Google copepod traps.

I'm sure you can modify one to allow the smaller pods to escape and only remove the adults.
