One of the most common copepod for sale, these large red pods from the west coast shore are easy to see. We send all sizes in each bottle, they are easy to culture and we recommend setting up a 1 gallon jar to culture your own supply.
Tigriopus californicus will take 3-4 weeks before you start noticing a dramatic increase in population. If you are going to grow them we recommend waiting 5-6 weeks after receiving them and feeding them regularly before your first harvest, by this time your Tigriopus population should be doubled to tripled then harvesting every 2 weeks after that.
Tigriopus californicus are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids making them ideal for picky eaters such as butterflies or mandarin gobys. These pods are known for their jerking motion that encourages fish to feed upon them. Females will lay hundreds of eggs during their lifecycle, if you use your phone to zoom in or a microscope you'll see females carrying eggs.
Great product and service.
Skyler comes through once again. I ordered single strain pods so I could start my own cultures. They arrived healthy and dense. Made my own culturing containers and they took off. I've harvested 3 - 8oz bottles in the last two days and I don't think I put a dent in their population...at all.
Always top quality live food, my seahorses love to hunt for them. Reef legends is my go to for copepods and phyto
Very pleasant experience from the communication to the ordering, to the products in hand, five star service at its best. Additionally, some of the most generous bottles of pods I have ever seen, to say that they were stacked would be kind of an understatement. Definitely give them a shot and order today!!!!
The original adults were healthy apparently since there are now many more next generation animals which consume algae voraciously.
Be the first to know about new collections and exclusive offers.
Skyler went above and beyond with my purchases as usual! He answered all of my questions and the phyto, pods and rotifers were some of the best I've ever received! Can't recommend Reef Legends enough and they have a customer for life! Hoping they don't add anymore strands as I wouldn't be able to not buy them!
We love using the 12 blend phyto and all other products always fresh and the corals love it.
After purchasing a beautiful Mandarin Dragonet, I was in search of a sustainable way of keeping him well-fed. Reaching out thru chat, I got a timely response from Skyler, who got me set up with a kit that has everything I needed to start culturing two different kinds of pods. When I received the order, my Tigriopus pods were mostly DOA. I informed Skyler right away, and he sent me replacements at no cost, which arrived, healthy, soon after. Skyler responds to my many questions via chat in a timely manner, and is always courteous and helpful. Just harvested my first batch of pods! Super cool! Great products and awesome customer service!
Very satisfied with the shipping and the quality of the elegance. Can’t wait to see and buy more from you guys. Thank you.
Tons and tons of pods that were happy, healthy, and great eaters! The rotifers took very well to my tank and my juvenile fish and corals love them!
As for the phytoplankton, it was perfect. Nice and dark, did it's job well, and keeps well in the fridge too!
Bottles were sturdy and clearly labeled.
Can't reccomend Reef Legends enough!

Harvested dark green about 10 days after receiving. Going strong.
