Pod help
 

Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to the saltwater scene but I've done some research on the benefits of pods. I would like to start seeding my tank, it is only 2 months old but anyway, I would like to know reliable online shops I could purchase copepods and amphipods from. If you could list some sites I could check out that would be very helpful. Thank you!

i've got some if you're in canada. they're harpacticoid copepods. they're easy to cultivate and gobies eat them.

how did you start your tank? did you use live rock?

pods tend to sneak in over time. there's no harm in adding them, to be sure, but if you wait they will eventually get there.

instead of buying bottled pods, you can always try buying some chaeto, there should be plenty of them living in there, and most local fish stores sell it. i don't know your specific location, but it is also very likely your local fish store sells bags or bottles of pods as well.

Get some macro algae from somewhere like Mondo mentioned, you will get the pods you are seeking
