I usually order from algaebarn.com but I've also got them from eBay seller "rumenrumen". Pricing is pretty similar.

+1 for Reefs2go. They're pods are all different sizes. I got some from the size of a pin point to almost and inch long :)

I've ordered from reefs2go.com before but the QC varies from order to order. You can check out their feedback in the vendor forum. Have you looked at "getyourpods.com"? They are sponsors and sell ami/copepods.

Where are the vendor forums? Can't seem to find them. I found the sponsor forum ok.

Reefs2Go & GetYourPods advertise Amphipod and Copepods mix. However, what you receive are Amphipods only! You cannot mix the two. Because 1, they do not co-exist and 2, because Amphipods eat Copepods.
Also both company's wild harvest which means you never know what your getting besides. Things like, Aptasia, Hydroids, Isopods just to name a few. Speaking from experience [emoji6]

NanaReefer, who do you buy from then?

NanaReefer · Mar 30, 2015

For Copepods, like Tisbea www.livecopepods.com and Tigriopus Califoricus (tigger pods) I buy the Reef Nutrition brand.
I do not buy Amphipods but if I did it would be from someone who cultures their own. Never wild harvested!

I tried getting some pods from them a few days ago and it would not let me place an order, so I emailed them bu I never got a response. Are they still up and running?

What do you mean it wouldn't let you place an order? How far did you get? I had no problem at all just now.

I as well just tried to place an order. I could get to checkout, but then there were errors on both paypal and cc processing. I sent an email as well.
