ABOUT ME
This business grew out of a passion for copepods.   I have spent the last 6 years trying to develop reliable methods for the mass culture of copepods.  I have certainly had some ups and downs, but now I am proud to offer these pure cultures to researchers and hobbyists alike.  Copepods can hold the key to the development of more species of fish for aquaculture and ornamental use alike.  Please feel free to ask me questions about the product, or if you have suggestions on future species.  Adelaide@essentiallivefeeds.com
