i'm assuming you received some pods somewhere?
Thanks! Actually, I was told by the guy at my LFS to go out to Bay Pines and turn over rocks. I have hit some major jackpots out there. I have come home with thousands! Now, I have so many in the tank that they have started breeding in the external filter. The only pain is trying to get them out of the floss and carbon. Takes several hours. But, at least, I don't have to go to Bay Pines any more. I still don't want to put these guys in my tank. They are different as they are faster and tend to like to be above the surface water line. I had to put a single layer of CC in the 10 gallon so they would stay there. But, I don't think his eye will ever get better and it might be just how he was born. Just need to get my 110 going with pods since when I had trouble getting them at the Bay, I had to siphon my bed for them. They seem to be getting there as I look at the tank at night and see them over all the rocks. Been getting the amphipods from the LFS filter for my tank.
