Our baseline recommendation is to add 1-2 ounces of Zooplankton Blend for every 1 Gallon of system volume. As a result, larger tanks require more zooplankton to successfully seed a reproducing population. The larger your aquarium is, the less dense your copepod and rotifer populations will be, making it more difficult for them to reproduce. There are a few factors to consider when Seeding Your Tank with Live Copepods and Rotifers: Introducing live Copepods and Rotifers to your aquarium will boost biodiversity from the bottom of the food chain up, resulting in a more natural, diverse ecosystem.Ģ.
Live natural prey will promote increased health and activity of the animals in your saltwater aquarium by providing them a more natural diet and allowing them to hunt.Ī live diet of Copepods, Rotifers, and Phytoplankton has been shown to promote more vibrant colour in fish and corals compared to non-live food sources. Copepods and Rotifers provide these fish with the live prey they are naturally inclined to chase and eat in the wild. Some fish, such as Mandarinfish, Clownfish, and Wrasses, can be very picky eaters. If enough Copepods and Rotifers are added to your aquarium and fed regular doses of Phytoplankton, they will reproduce and create a sustainable live food source for your Fish, Corals, and other Inverts. Copepods, Rotifers, and Phytoplankton are the foods that many of your reef inhabitants would eat naturally in the wild.Ĭopepods and Rotifers eat decaying food, algae, and other organic matter, cleaning your tank and reducing tank maintenance.
