HOW DO I MOVE COPEPODS?

ESSENTIAL LIVE FEEDS COPEPODS come in a bottle that is ready to add directly to your tank.  You should shake up the bottle before adding it to the tank, because the copepods sometimes settle to the bottom during shipping.  ESSENTIAL LIVE FEEDS COPEPODS will stay in your tank, thriving and reproducing without any additional food.


IF YOU ARE CULTURING THEM:

An easy way to collect them for transfer is wiping a sponge along the side of the container or sucking them up with a pipette after shining a light on the side of the container to attract them.

Pouring the culture water through a filter bag, or a coffee filter, is another method of catching and moving the copepods to your main tank or a fresh culture container.
