copepods ??

Was at the LFS the other day-as I always am-examining & planning my reef/invert tank to make sure I am getting what "works" together before I start putting things into my tank. Saw these little guys "popping" around in a small nano tank-the clrek said they were 'copepods'. I read an article that these are very good for mandarin fish,as well as others. I think they are fascinating to watch jumping everywhere- and would like to add to my tank when I begin, so they have time to populate. WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO BUY THEM-ONLINE? The LFS did not have much. -Thanks.

See if your LFS will put a clean unused sponge in one of their tanks and let it sit there for about a week and then have them bag it up for you and take it home with you. This is the reason that I have so many in my tank.
