Copepods

I just saw a post about little white bugs in the tank copepodes. I was just wondering about how long anyone had their tanks set up befor these guys start popping up?

Depends on your livestock. Some fish love to eat em, so you might not ever see them.

They will hitchhike in on your LR. I had to qt my fish recently and without them in my main tank my copepods went crazy and were covering absolutely everything. Now that the fish are back in you don't see them as much. Ha!
