## Overview

AlgaeBarn Apocalypse Pods deliver 3,000+ live Apocyclops panamensis copepods designed to seed and sustain a natural, self-reproducing population in marine aquariums. These pods provide premium live nutrition for finicky fish and invertebrates while naturally cleaning your tank by consuming detritus, fish waste, and invasive algae. With a 100% Alive On Arrival guarantee, this eco-friendly solution supports a healthy, vibrant aquatic ecosystem and reduces maintenance efforts.

## Description

Our Copepods range from Juveniles to Adults in size. This is intentional and it allows you to seed and establish a copepod population in your aquarium. Your fish will eat the adults they can see and the juveniles that they cannot see will make their way into the rocks, macro algae, sponges, etc where they will consume detritus and start to reproduce. If we sold all adults, your fish would likely consume all of them in a few minutes and there would be none leftover to reproduce in your tank. Please research this product before purchasing! Imagine having a sustainable & diverse copepod population in your marine aquarium. Tig Pods contains 5280+ Premium LIVE Tigriopus Copepods ranging from nauplii to adult sizes. Our genuine quality Copepods are 100% viable to reproduce in marine aquaria and will establish a diverse population of Tigriopus copepods in your aquarium. Copepods form a "Copepod Clean Up Crew" in your tank as they naturally keep your aquarium spotless by consuming detritus, fish waste, and other invasive algae. Tig Pods is great for seeding new tanks & refugiums, boosting existing Tigriopus copepod populations, feeding finicky fish & inverts such as Mandarins, Seahorses, Anthias, Wrasses, SPS, LPS & NPS Corals, Clams, and most other filter-feeding inverts. OUR MISSION is to earn your loyalty and respect while giving you the peace of mind you deserve when it comes to your marine aquarium. We offer genuine quality Tigriopus Copepods that are 100% Aquacultured, 100% Sustainable, and 100% Guaranteed, no exceptions!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the seller know how many are in a jar and then, how am I to know?**
A: Hello, we measure every container based on density as well as using special filtering/measuring tools.  Every jar will contain 3000+ pods, which will vary from juveniles to adults, so only the larger adults will be visible to the naked eye.  We assure that all listed # of pods are within; if they have deceased there will be a layer of brown debris on the bottom of the jars, otherwise they will all have arrived happy and healthy! :)

**Q: Will these pods survive and thrive in a freshwater environment?**
A: Most are raised in brackish water, but you could do the brine shrimp eggs and hatch them out for freshwater. They would be just food! Most pods get eaten by the fish and corals.
