Copepods for sale at the meeting Friday

[itZme]

I have a good quantity of copepods that are available for sale now. I will bring them to the meeting Friday if you would like. They are going for $15 for a 16oz. bottle. There are well over 1,000 pods in this quantity of water and they will multiply for you easily in your tank or fuge.
I am growing them out to feed my tanks (looking into getting a mandarin soon) and the food is getting expensive so I need to thin them out and use the proceeds to buy more food and supplies.

I would be OK with pick-ups if you wanted to make the trek out here. I live about 40 mins south of Elyria, 55 minutes south of Cleveland, 35 mins south of Medina and 40 mins west of Akron.

I have about 10-15 bottles that I could bring. If you would like multiples I can cut you a break like 2 for $25. You will NOT be disappointed by the number of pods you get.

I will post some pictures that I took of them later tonight when I get time.

I would be willing to ship but would need to charge for the shipping and packing materials (plus Paypal's fees) so I think I could get them anywhere in the US for an additional $6. I could ship more than one bottle for a reduced rate if anyone wants to get a group together. Please only ask if you are serious. I don't want to bottle them up and then have to bring them home with me again.

Thanks,
-- Kevin

Hi Amy,
You mean your HORSE that you call a dog? You could have a bigger tank if you didn't have to buy dog food for her.

I will bring 2 bottles for you.

See ya Friday

Well, I have to call her a dog, cuz horses aren't allowed in the neighborhood here!!

Also folks, I'll be bringing cheapy flourescents, typical junk that come with aquariums, several sizes. Don't want to hi-jack Kevin, so PM me if you have anything in mind you might want size-wise.

Jeff,
Glad to hear you will be at your first meeting. I will bring your 2 bottles with me.

Just thought I would show everyone else what they would be getting with a purchase of one 16oz bottle. If you click >>HERE<< you can see that their 4oz. bottle costs $25 plus shipping. If you consider that fact, then a 16oz bottle is actually $100 worth of copepods. That is not even including shipping.

I will ship them to anywhere in the US for $6 more which brings the total to $21. It isn't any cheaper to ship 40 miles than it is to ship 1500 miles so even the locals would have to pay the $6 to get them delivered. If you buy 2 bottles for $25 I could pay for some of the shipping so it would only be $5 extra and ends up costing you $30 for 32oz.

Please let me know before Friday afternoon so I can prepare the bottles for you.

Here are a couple of pics I took to show the pod population in my display tank. They get a little thinned out by the fish picking at them and I replenish the pods every couple weeks.

Click the thumbnails if you want to see the full-sized pic.

Here is a macro shot to show one pod.


Here is what the glass usually looks like on my display tank. Looks like mandarin heaven. I still haven't gotten a mandarin yet but I think one would be happy in here.

I still have several 16oz bottles (not the 4oz. ones like they sell online) that I could bring to the meeting for $15 each or 2 for $25 and I have 2 brand new digital TDS METERS for sale for $25 also. Please let me know if I should bring them for you tonight.

Thanks,
-- Kevin
