Tigriopus pods

Tigriopus californicus copepod is an wonderful addition to any saltwater aquarium as this species of copepods are rich in astaxanthin which will helps bring dull colored fish back to their naturally vibrant colors seen in the wild. These bright red colored copepods are  larger sized copepods (250-1500 microns) and make an enticing meal to any fish due to their quirky swim pattern, whose erratic, jerky swim pattern combined with their color and size.  we highly recommend these pods for reefers who keep fish with high metabolisms allowing them to forage all day long, and are an excellent choice for finicky fish. Having a live food source will also help to lower nutrients often caused by over feeding prepared foods that sink to the substrate and start to decay in your tank. We highly recommend dosing Phyto Buffet to provide for their nutritional needs, and it aids in establishing colonization. In sum, the Harpacticidea copepod Tigriopus californicus is an excellent addition to any tanks
