in need of........

[Kelly68]

HI Again:

I am in desperate need of someone or a few people that have an over abundance of copepods that they would like to get rid of. I am trying very hard to make a tank that would be the only thing in there to culture. It is the best food for my fry and shipping will kill me. So if anyone has a bunch that would be worth my drive, please pm me and let me know. It would mean a lot.

Kelly- I looked last night, I couldnt find ANY. There in there, but there winning the game of hide and seek. If you come you can give the cheato a shake.

Bring a pail.

Our fuge was crawling with them last I looked. Has been hell around here and haven't looked in a bit though. Will check tomorrow and let you know. If it looks like it did last time, you're welcome to come get some

 

[Kelly68]

That would be wonderful. Just let me know.

I don't see many pods now Is still crawling with mysis and gammarus, but sounds like those would be too big for what you are needing?

Even those have dropped in number. But, one check probably isn't accurate. Will keep looking, and maybe catch up on maintenance while I'm at it

Oh, what are you breeding by the way?

 

[Kelly68]

Hi. I really appreciate you looking and letting me know. I am breeding seahorses. The fry would really benefit from the copepods. Problem being, I cannot get my hands on any...or should I say enough to try and culture my own. They are eating live rotifers and hatched bbs. I am trying my luck too on breeding peppermint shrimp. But if you can get any copepods.....you'd be the man!

ooo..kelly. I wish I knew you wanted baby peppermints. Mine just had a hatch or whatever it's called 2 nights ago. Unfortunately I left them in the tank and between the seahorses and mom and dad pepermint...there's none left.

 

[Kelly68]

Thanks Shannon. For the past two nights I have seen one baby..but a big baby. I have heard they are very tiny when born..makes me believe he was born and has hidden and only comes out at night. I have never seen the larvae before, so it will be a first for me when I do see it. Thanks and keep me in your thoughts if you ever have any you can spare.

I sure will Kelly. The next time he spurts out the babies. I'll be there with my net scooping them up for you.
