Copepods – Tisbe (16oz)
$25.00
Live, small-batch cultured copepods designed to support healthy reef ecosystems. An essential natural food source for fish and corals, they also help maintain tank balance by contributing to a thriving microfauna population.
Ideal for reef aquariums and marine systems, these live copepods provide a natural food source for mandarins, wrasses, and other pod-dependent fish while supporting coral health and biodiversity. Cultured fresh in small batches, they help establish and sustain a stable microfauna population that improves long-term tank health and natural reef balance.
Description
Our Tisbe copepods are a premium, small-batch cultured live food specifically chosen for their durability, nutritional value, and effectiveness in reef aquariums. Tisbe are benthic copepods, meaning they naturally inhabit rockwork, sand beds, and refugiums, making them excellent at establishing long-term, self-sustaining populations.
Highly nutritious and rich in essential fatty acids, Tisbe copepods are an ideal natural food source for mandarins, dragonets, wrasses, and other pod-dependent fish. Their small size also makes them suitable for coral feeding and supporting overall microfauna diversity within the tank.
Unlike pelagic copepods that remain suspended in the water column, Tisbe thrive on surfaces where fish cannot easily deplete them, allowing populations to rebound quickly. This makes them especially effective for refugiums and reef systems focused on long-term stability rather than short-term feeding events.
Our Tisbe copepods are cultured with consistency, cleanliness, and density in mind to ensure a healthy, active product upon arrival. Free of fillers and unnecessary additives, they integrate seamlessly into established or newly set-up reef tanks.
