Ok, I thought I had seen some nutty stuff in my tank, but tonight I saw something that tops it all.
I saw a pod war. No, this is not a joke. I was rearranging my tank because I lost some corals beneath the rock. In one corner of my tank, there was a big amphipod and some smaller copepods fighting WWIII. The big one must have been trying to eat one of the little ones and a bunch of them ganged up on him. He was a vicious little sucker and eventually ended up "winning" I guess--he got dinner.
Never saw anything like this before. Has anyone?
On another note, I saw so many pods tonight that I'm thinking about getting a mandarin. Tanks only about 8 months old. Have well over 100+ pounds of rock in a 110 gal tank. Any thoughts? Should I wait until after a year to get a mandarin? With the size of the pods and number that I saw tonight, I'm afraid my zoos may become a main course!
