My tank is LOADED with these little guys. They are running around the sand rock and back of the tank on the glass in one of my tanks. My other tanks hve none that I can see.
Can you have too many in a tank.
Would it be a gook itea to place some of the rock from this tank in the tanks with no copepods to spread them around?
Thanks. ***)

I would love to have alot of them...I want a manderine bad...but I know they need alot of copepods to survive..I see them in LFS and they are all skinny looking..makes me sad...you are lucky! get yourself a manderine..they are so cool.

you know..I have these little bugs that I see running around in my substrate...my yellow goby loves them..he eats them..maybe they are pods and I don't even know it...I have looked at the pics of them on here and I don't know if that's what they are or not..what I have alot of runs around in the bottom and my yellow goby hunts them and picks them off..he is a champ.

depends on how big your tank is and how much live rock you have.(lbs)?
