My new scooter blenny is soo cute!!!:love!: I know they're rather difficult to maintain, so I wanted to ask how I can help promote the growth of my copepod/isopod population, and maintain their high number while he's around? I see them around every night so I know there everywhere in the tank.

Do you have a fuge? Reefreaders - Refugium (http://www.reefreaders.com/content/view/25/1/) They are a great place to grow pods.

yes i have a small 10 gallon refugium set up aside my tank, and they grow quiete readily in there. i was just wondering what i could do to boost their numbers

you could always buy a batch to enhance the numbers. only thing is ... i cant remember where people buy them from. lol i am sure someone will jump in here and offer up a link.

uhh, thanks haha

These guys seem to be popular. Never ordered from them before, but I know a lot of people do.

Ocean Pods - Aquacultured Copepods for the hobbyist (http://www.oceanpods.com/)

Edit - and apparently a TR sponsor too!

I know someone who has gotten a lot fo repeat customers... lemme see if she has any at the moment.

maybe i'll just go down to the beach and see if i can start a few cultures of these little guys

I have one and they are cool. I don't even have live rock and he does fine. He eats the kelp and anything we feed him. If you have real coral and rock yours should be easy as mine has none of the things they are suppose to have.
