Cultivate higher yield of nutritious copepods with greater ease. New AlgaGen™ Apocyclops features a prolific species of tropical cyclopoid copepods with nutritious lipid reserves. Ideal for feeding a wide variety of corals, filter feeders, and marine fish species including Mandarins and Seahorses, Anthias and Gobies, NPS Corals and Gorgonians, Acropora, Crinoids, Basket Stars, and more.

AlgaGenPods™ Apocyclops contains live Apocyclops panamensis in treated natural ocean water. Add 1 capful AlgaGenPods™ Apocyclops per 10 gallons directly to your main aquarium, sump, or refugium. For best results, acclimate and grow Apocyclops in a separate culture vessel and harvest as needed to feed the main aquarium. 

Great food for:

• Mandarins & Dragonettes
• Pipefish
• Seahorses
  
• SPS corals

Copepods can also be grown outside of the aquarium system in a culture vessel and then harvested to feed the aquarium. Pod culture can be tricky, some are easier than others, but with some simple equipment and a little dedication pod cultures are achievable.

Copepods are best maintained at 78°F and at S.G. 1.020 with low light and very low aeration. We strongly recommend acclimating your copepods into your culture vessel or tank.

Size: 0.1 - 0.4 mm, 8 oz bottle contains 100 to 200 pods and 16 oz bottle contains 200 to 300 pods.
