When customers purchase copepods, other live foods, and phytoplankton (MicroMagic) we are commonly asked about which size they should choose for their specific tank volume. This is certainly an appropriate question, which is why we have put together an easy-to-understand guide to live foods and tank volumes.
By reading the below tables as a guide, you will be able to find the correct size bottle of live goods for your tank.
Copepods
0 – 50L | 125ml PODS |
51 – 100L | 250ml PODS |
201 – 400L | 500ml PODS |
601 – 1000 | 1000ml PODS |
Other live foods besides copepods: The above table will apply directly to similar live foods to copepods such as daphnia and rotifers. Please check with us for other species of live foods that are much larger or different from copepods (e.g. Amphipods or Blackworms)
