Re: copepods?

At night you should see a bunch with a small pinlight. Everywhere!
Go to a LFS and get a cup or so of sand/crud out of
their LR/LS tank. Maybe you need to get a population started
or reseeded.
If you aren't seeing a bunch of pods and several different kinds of pods,
I don't think you are ready for a mandarin.

Hi again all,

I'm wondering how you know if you have pods in your tank? My ultimate goal is to get a mandarin or two, probably in a year or so as my tank is way too new yet. I've not seen anything resembling pods so far, does that mean I dont' have any?
