Pods

[DYIguy]

My fish aren't picky, looking at pods on ebay- Tisbe, or 6 different kinds- 16 oz bottle- 3000+ from $18- to $23 with shipping

I went and ordered the 6 different type of pods 16oz/ 4000+ for $22 +tax and free shipping- the supplier has a 97% positive feedback- guess I'll find out

I've used Deans for straight Tisbe or Tigriopus- and were both great, this time I'm trying Jaysreefbugs

Do they come all in the same container? Bc i thought they ate each other kinda like phyto

One container but many are nymphs / juveniles-from a few microns to 50+ shipped in fresh seawater with no rotifers- I'll keep you posted - says most are dormant during shipping

That's a question to think about. No matter who you buy pods from, how do you check the numbers? Only way I can think of is to put them in a tank with no predators and stay up after light out with a flashlight lol

I would imagine it's basically impossible considering they'd mix and move and there's no way to keep track lol.

I figure I got nothing ( much ) to lose- the big online stores charge about double and add shipping for a 16oz/ 3000 count- I did fine with Deans before-just thought I'd try something different

I've been looking into possibly starting a big culture of either Tig pods or amphipods. But haven't decided yet. So maybe I'll try this guy out for a starter culture

If you want amphipods the ocean is your best friend if you live close to shore. Unlimited supply of pods

I still haven't made my Belmar pod trip yet. Gotta check the tide charts so I can show up at low tide.

Some things I've said here: "Can't fix stupid" and "Oops I did it again"- Usps 2 day is now 3 day and this order was 4 day-not thinking that a few more hours wouldn't make any difference- I added the pods to the tank in the afternoon. instead of waiting until lights out- I did use a pipe and directed them towards the bottom/ rock- but since so many are minute and carried by the flow, I watched the chromis feast on the floaters- hope some made it- guess I'll be ordering more sooner than later

I ordered as well, shipped Sunday and arrived today. Directed some under the main rock and in some crevices and dumped most in the fuge. There were plenty swimming around in the bottle when it arrived. Thanks!
