We currently sell Tisbe and Apocyclops together as we had a culturing mixup, while we work to get new cultures going of each we are currently offering them blended .
Tisbe copepods are small copepods that require a light to be shown at the bottom of the bottle to see them. We send all sizes/ages in each bottle. Tisbe copepods are a moderate production copepod, needing 2-3 weeks before harvesting. Tisbe pods will consume large amounts of phytoplankton while culturing, you'll often notice you'll have to feed them 4-5 times a week once your population takes off. They also make for a great clean up crew in your reef aquarium, they are bottom dwellers and love to hide in the rocks making them hard for small to medium fish to eat. (mandarins gobys love hunting these guys down) Tisbe copepods are loaded with high nutritional content when fed live phytoplankton.
Apocyclops copepods are medium size, slightly larger than tisbe and slightly smaller than Tigriopus copepods. Youll see these guys jerking in the water column, enticing smaller fish to eat. Apocyclops females will lay eggs every 4-6 days, meaning you can harvest them on a weekly basis if you're culturing them.
If you culture these pods together in a 1 gallon vessel or larger, eventually all the pods will be apocyclops as they reproduce at a faster rate.

Was very satisfied with product. Wanted more education on starting upo a new reef system and adding pods, called Skylar and he was very helpful educating me on begining with pods and growing a pod habitat and the importance of pods and proper feeding to ensure a good start. He also helped me with other products he had which would help my startup as well. Really appreciate the quality and the effort he gave.

Excellent Quality – My Reef Loves It!
I’m very happy with the 13 Species Phytoblend & 2 Podblend from Reef Legends. Everything arrived fresh and well packaged, and the quality was excellent. I’ve been adding it to my reef tanks to help build up a healthy copepod population and provide natural food for the tank. I really like having such a diverse blend instead of relying on just one type of phytoplankton or pod. I’ll definitely be ordering again and would recommend Reef Legends to anyone looking to improve the biodiversity and overall health of their reef aquarium.

I need Rhodo for raising different marine invertebrates and this starter culture was exactly what I needed. Easiest Rhodo to get and very reliable as along as you get it with overnight shipping.
