Amphipods/copepods/brineshrimp

[hunt]

somehow (no idea how) copepods and amphipods got into the brine shrimp tank. Will this be ok or cause problems

I am not sure if one wil eat the other. I have accidentally gotten brine shrimp in my rotifer culture and just 2 brine seemed to have wiped them out. I am sure it happened from using the same syphon hose, although I thought I had cleaned it well.
I now make sure I keep them well apart and I use seperate equip. for each.
Sorry that's probably not much help!

not much help, but kind of interesting. i think the amphipods would cause more of a problem than the smaller copepods if they cause a problem

I wouldnt think of it that much of a problem. Im not sure if amphipods have a predatious side.
