It's not what they prefer that we have to consider as they prefer their natural habitat that we cannot give them.
You can't provide enough copepods even in a 10g tank for long term survival of a pair of dwarfs and that is why the primary food for captive dwarfs is enriched live brine nauplii.
Pods therefore are just a great additional nutrient profile for them.
A ten gallon tank would need a lot of dwarfs to really be able to be worthwhile as they are hard to see.
I have no problem with up to around 50 dwarfs in a 5g.
