Reef Nutrition Apex-Pods are live Apocyclops copepods, a small, prolific tropical species that thrives at room temperature. Their small size and constant motion make them an ideal live food for small-mouthed fish, larval rearing, and seeding a refugium. Add Phyto-Feast Live to grow a self-sustaining culture.
Why Reef Keepers Use It
- Small, active tropical pods are perfect for small mouths and larvae
- Thrive at room temperature, no refrigeration needed
- Reproduce quickly to seed a lasting refugium population
What It Feeds
Mandarins and other micro-predators, larval fish, and refugium cultures. A great size complement to larger Tigger-Pods.
How to Feed
- Pour into the display tank or refugium
- Feed with pumps off briefly so pods disperse
- Add phytoplankton to sustain a culture
