I'm thinking that here in a few months we are going to be looking at getting a Mandarin. Hopefully we will be able to find one that eats frozen foods, but I'm not going to count on that so I would like to learn more about copepods. I've been reading numerous threads on the forums and I seem to be coming up with as many questions as I've found answers...
How much copepod population do I need to support each Mandarin? Which kind of copepods are best for Mandarins? I've seen a LOT of these threads referencing Phyto, what is this? Is phyto needed in a fuge to ensure healthy copepod reproduction? Does light effect copepods and/or their reproduction?
This is really just the tip of the iceberg it seems. What I think I'm really after is a full blown document on copepods and Mandarins. I'm sure that I'm missing plenty of questions here. Does anyone have a link to some good information? Any books that have a good chapter or two about copepods and Mandarins?
Thanks in advance.
