Need food

[trixbynix69]

Hello my name is Nick I have had a nano tank for about 7 months now I just recently bought a mandarin and I'm looking to see if anybody sells copepods near me

Reef life aquariums should have some. It’s in Birmingham. Unsure exactly where you are

Nick, you have bit of a dilemma. Your 7 month Tank probably has no Pod population yet and won't for some time and supplying Pods get $$$$ fast. Your best bet is to get your Mandarin on Frozen Food or Pellets but it's a lot of work if you even can because these guys need multiple feedings a day. Mine Quickley exhausted the few pods in my 20 gallon QT Tank but I was able to get her settled in and on TDO Chromaboost small Pellets and frozen adult Brine shrimp. The key for me was to turn off the flow and Target feed with a Pipet. I would see your Tank with live Pods ASAP and try feeding by hand.

I know it sounds to good to be true but on like the 5th month we had them an no one ever believes me an it's a bear bottom tank at that I don't know how I ended up with them but I did an have been sustain them ever since an it's two different kinds at that so we went to get a mandarin an it seems to be doing really good an my firefish eat them the crabs eat them if they can catch them but I have never does my tank never had to but I have some copepods coming today that way I can start farming them because with me having fish that eat them I figured I would do that but I don't know if I'm ever going to have to does but I won't to have them on hand
