I think they might be pods, it’s hard to say because they are sooooo small. They do move, but very slowly. Do they show up in a cluster overnight like that?look like pods. observe them. are they moving?
google pics of copepods. see if u have similar pods
I hope you’re right!pods - they are good and a sign the tank is maturing
[crosses fingers]they can come in with coral frags, live rock & sand. its a good thing. they eat detritus. grow enough pods n you can get a mandarin..
I don’t have a sump, it’s an AIO set up. Do I really need to feed them something or are you suggesting that if I want to build the population?feed some zooplankton( live is better) every 2-3 days and some chaeto(with light) in sump will be good home for these pods. i got my tank flooded with these pods in 3 weeks like this. my mandarin is in QT right now
oh man i want a mandarin so bad but they make me so nervous!! all i ever see is how difficult they are!feed some zooplankton( live is better) every 2-3 days and some chaeto(with light) in sump will be good home for these pods. i got my tank flooded with these pods in 3 weeks like this. my mandarin is in QT right now
they are a difficult fish in a smaller tank as they can eat a lot of pods in a short time. if u have a smaller tank then buy a captive-bred one. they can be trained to feed on brine shrimp n blood worms.oh man i want a mandarin so bad but they make me so nervous!! all i ever see is how difficult they are!
