Live Tisbe copepods are an excellent choice as a live food source for your reef tank. These small, aquatic invertebrates are a natural source of protein for fish and invertebrates, and their rapid reproduction means a consistent food source for your tank.

Not only do Tisbe copepods provide nutrition for your tank inhabitants, they also help to maintain a healthy balance in the ecosystem by controlling algae growth. These copepods are easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of water conditions, making them a practical choice for any reef tank owner.

 

In addition to their nutritional and practical benefits, Tisbe copepods are also the perfect size for even the smallest of tank inhabitants. Whether you're looking to feed juvenile fish or small invertebrates, live Tisbe copepods are an excellent choice.

 

Overall, adding live Tisbe copepods to your reef tank is a great way to provide nutrition and support a healthy ecosystem. Give your tank the live food it deserves and see the difference it can make.

Our bottles are FDA approved for food contact, strong, lightweight, and completely recyclable. Rest assured keeping your reef adequately fed is environmentally friendly.

If you're not ready to use your tisbe or apo copepods once you receive them you can store them by removing the cap and storing them at room temperature out of direct sunlight.

For Rotifers, and Tig pods remove the cap and store them in the fridge until ready.

Tisbe copepods reproduce extremely well in a reef tank. Keep in mind that the ability to establish a population depends on reproduction exceeding predation. Therefore if you have a lot of predation based on your reef tank stock, it's important to introduce an adequate amount.

The best time to introduce copepods is once the tank inhabitants are not very active. This would be once the lights are off after they have been fed heavily. They can be introduce into the display, back chamber of an all in one, or in a refugium.

No problem, just here over here and reach out to us and we'll get back to you with the best approach to keeping your reef thriving.

Make sure to give us enough information about your tank.
