Default Copepods

Started a small cleaner crew yesterday. 12 hermits and 12 Astrea Snails. Wow! They are really mowing it over! I like these little workhorses! I have a ton of copepods. They are covering the glass and MJ filters are full of them. Fuge is spitting them into the tank by the ...well a lot of them. Can I have too many of these things and if so whats the best thing to get to eat them up. I want another critter or two or three...

No. Don't worry about them. Once you start adding fish they will provide a good snack for them. You will quickly see the number drop then.

Agreed... This is definately a good thing. You might even be able to keep a Manderin Dragonet depending on the other fish load you plan on keeping. I have 2 Manderins in my 180gal and they stay fat and happy due to all the pods.
