About Tisbe Copepods

I am posting here because it is my understanding that many breeders culture tisbe pods to feed their fry....I was not able to find an answer anywhere else.

Yesterday I received some tisbe pods that i will culture in separate 2.5 gal aquariums......I am looking at about 10 days before I need to do anything with the cultures....this gives me enough time to find the correct size of sieve to collect the tisbe when i pull them out of the tank, especially when is time to do a water change...

so, can you tell me what size of micron mesh or net i need to get in order to catch the tisbe pods, and I mean from the babies to the adults....

At first I was going to use a seachem "The Bag" which according to them is 180 microns....im just not sure if this is still too big for them.....i know it would be too big for rotifers but i am just not sure about tisbe pods.


Thank you for the help.
 
Great article...I always thought rotifers were smaller and that's why they need a 50 microns...I think the coffee filters are like 30 microns, they are the cheapest option but clog too easily....thanks for the info
