First off, I’m excited to be a part of such a helpful and supportive community! There aren’t many like this online anymore.
I have a 20 long with a pair of clowns and a red scooter dragonette/mandarin, and I’ve seen a lot of posts about the scooter pertaining to copepods!
If this advice helps anyone, I’ve had major success by drilling holes (hollow diamond bit) in a small glass bottle (I used a Frank’s Hot Sauce 8oz) and filling the bottle with chaeto and red devil’s tongue. It’s placed in my main tank, since I have no fuge/sump. Occasionally trimming back the macroalgae is a small price to pay for happy and reproducing copepods! Also neat to watch the scooter hang out by the bottle for dinner time.
