Copepods

[AngelAnn]

I know this might be a dumb question, but is it possible to have too many copepods. My tank right now looks like a snowglobe. Is there anything I can do or just ride it out?

That is usually a preferred thing. Means the tank is healthy. People buy bottles of those to dump in their tanks. Get a mandarin or a wrasse if you want to reduce the numbers.

Where do you buy the bottles of copepods? I want one.

Almost any small fish such as gobies will eat the copepods. I have them growing like crazy in my system and have a pair of mandarins that are now over 3 years old. They are fat and happy. How big is your tank? You may have the perfect conditions for a mandarin. A six line wrasse would also eat them.

Good luck!

Mandarins in my opinion would be the way to go (Much better color IMO) lol

Angel, Your tank might not be able to sustain a mandarin eventhough your tank currently looks like a "snow globe". They will decemate your pod population then most likely starve to death if you don't have a refugium and adequate tank size(75+). What type of setup do you have?
