FS: Tisbe Copepods and Blue Ochtodes
- Thread starter sillycupid
- Start date
I am sad to announce that there will be no tisbe copepods for sale at MAX. Amphipods raided my culture and ate all my little copepods. I ordered a new pure strain of Tisbe Copepods and they will be available in 2-3 weeks. I am sorry for the inconvienence and I hope I didn't break any hearts. I pride myself on culturing concentrated live tisbe copepods and this road block will not stop me!!!
Some good news, my blue ochtodes is doing very well and I will have many 2" frags available!
I also have a new macro algae for sale (where the amphipods came from)- gelidium sp.! More commonly know as the red fern. I will be selling 2" long fragments of this macro algae for $15. This stunning red plant definitely competes with blue ochtodes. I just want a tank full of this stuff. Pictures will be in next post! (When I get access to a computer)

Not sure if I was right to not wait until MAX. Does my bottle have any of these Amphipods? 
I see a few of those tiny pot in my tank here and there. However, I also see a lot of the small "shrimp" look a like crawling every where on the rocks. I have no idea where they are coming from. If the mandarin dragonet can eat those guys then I can have one.

I have Tigriopus californicus (Tigger copepods) and phytoplankton (Nanocropolis) available. $15 shipped for either one. The tigger copepods are larger, orange colored copepods. I lost my tisbe strain due to neglect and can not find a new supplier who will ship me living ones. I am planning on making a new thread once I have more in stock.
About how many tigers pods do we get for $15? also ive bought tisbe from this place before and they ship. http://stores.aquaculturenurseryfarms.com/-strse-105/"TROPIC-COPEPODS"-Tisbe-16/Detail.bok
Once I get more tigger copepods in stock, I will start a new thread with a link to a video via photobucket. I just split the mother culture today, but I can film it as a demo. How many, I can not say. Estimate, around 500 good sized adults with many younger copepods. I recently bought a tisbe culture from aqua culture nursery farm, but due to the temperature fluctuations I received the package DOA, along with the replacement. I am waiting for winter to kick in before I place another order. Cold packs are just not cutting it in 100 degree weather.
