This is what PetCo is now offering, only available by shipping. They said it will soon be offered in the stores.​

I've used hikari frozen cyclops for years, its great to get picky fish eating so you can move onto other foods.

Personally I don't like to feed it regularly, the cyclops are just too small, and I find that most of what I add doesn't get eaten, and it ends up fouling the water. Just my opinion

TMC is the main dealer over here and everyone in the UK uses their foods. I love it personally but it is also the only frozen food really available over here.

My Wrasses (Tamarins, Pencils, Leopards, Pink Streaks) all go absolutely nuts for the pods I throw into my frozen mix.
 
What if the frozen copepods are mixed with the algae flakes for the fish to feed? I had mix the mysis with such flakes and it turns out to be favored by my four eyed fish
 
Even though my Mandarin, has plenty of live pods to eat, I would like something to supplement. Once in a while, it will eat a Mysis Shrimp, especially if it sees the Watchmen eat the Mysis.
 
They also have Artic Pods which you keep in the fridge and just dose 5ml or so in the tank. Basically dead pods added as fish food.
