Some Fun Facts about Amphipods and Copepods:
Amphipods (http://www.reefs2go.com/product/INV_POD-250/Live-Foods-for-Feeding-Aquarium-Fish-Inverts-Corals-Amphipods-copepods.html) can be distinguished from copepods as able to seen at a distant.
Amphipods range in size from 5-10mm, where as copepods (http://www.reefs2go.com/product/INV_POD-250/Live-Foods-for-Feeding-Aquarium-Fish-Inverts-Corals-Amphipods-copepods.html) range from 1-3mm. This offer is for a variety of both.
Amphipods and copepods make excellent food for picky eaters like seahorses (http://www.reefs2go.com/product/INV_POD-250/Live-Foods-for-Feeding-Aquarium-Fish-Inverts-Corals-Amphipods-copepods.html).
Mandarin gobies love live fish food (http://www.reefs2go.com/product/INV_POD-250/Live-Foods-for-Feeding-Aquarium-Fish-Inverts-Corals-Amphipods-copepods.html) and they are essential to a reef tank adding biodiversity.
Tanks can be seeded with them by introducing ~100 per 25 gallons or through the use of an upstream fishless refugium (http://www.reefs2go.com/category/sea_life.macro_algae/) kept dimly lit.
The most common amphipods found in aquaria are either herbivores or detritivores.
They tend to eat either plant or algal material preferentially and either graze on algae or eat debris of plant or algal origin.
In our aquaria, amphipods are typically part of the cleanup crew (http://www.reefs2go.com/category/sea_life.clean_it_up_crews/).
In addition, they are good food for whatever saltwater fish (http://www.reefs2go.com/category/sea_life.tropical_fish/) can catch them. Altogether they are a beneficial and interesting component of our systems' fauna.
