Copopods, how to tell if there are enough?

[kb0vhy]

Not sure if I got enough if any??

Do you have any thing that could eat them?

I did not see any in my tank until about the 2 month mark then it was swarming with them. You have to look really really close to even see them. I only see them in my sump, there is way to much flow in the main tank.

lol, you worry too much... Shine a flashlight at your tank at night.. I bet its crawling with them. Mine is, and I dont really see them in the day..

It would be pretty difficult not to have them. They thrive in an aquarium because they only have predators if you add fish that eat them like a hawkfish or a mandarin. I imagine you have a steady supply if you have had your tank running for more than a month.

Well, I guess they are in there.... Today was the first day I see a few sheds floating around!!
