Hi,

What magnifier/magnification do you suggest on Amazon to view Tisbe pods?

I have the Carson 60-120x microbrite but the issue is it just shows the tank glass grain, lol

Something I could put up flush to the tank glass and see the pods.

I’m trying to see the Tisbe pod and growth, read these are max 600 micron in size, you cannot
see them with normal viewing.
 
I would also like to know so that I may order as well
 
Tisbe are viewable to the naked eye, smaller than Tiggre, larger than Rotifers. I use a strong led flashlight to help. So any magnifier would work, from a basic 3x magnifying giass, to more expensive 10x.

Depends on why you want to see them. To just check that they are there, I just use the light. If you want to check their guy load, you will need a microscope, 100x should be plenty.

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
