Lots of small fishes feed on them, they're a natural food source! And you can keep mandarins too!!

Though copepod is a food source for fish, but the food source for copepod is some rotten food in your tank.

In other words, the increase of copepod represents something rotting in your tank.

i tot they eat micro organism on the lr???maybthey feast on the left over planktons i fed 2 my corals.....i only feed pellets to my fishes....

[shoelevy]

what i read from internet webpages is that copepods feed on plankton

that's y sometimes some of the members here recommend dosing of coral food to maintain copepods population

as to whether they eat other types of foods, i'm not sure

clean off as in push them to swim cos blocking me from cleaning the alage

thought the scooter will take care of them seems like I need a mandarin
