HIGH QUALITY PODS WITHOUT THE PRICE. HAND BOTTLED THE MORNING THEY SHIP. | CopepodsForSale.com
Hey reefers, Ricky here from Copepodsforsale.com!
We're a small family business. Every pod and every drop of phyto is cultured in house, and every bottle is hand filled the morning it ships. Nothing sits in a warehouse. It's also me personally answering the messages, so if you've ever emailed at 2am and gotten a reply, that wasn't an autoresponder.
High quality pods without the price. That's the whole pitch. Here's the math behind it:
- Every 32oz 5-Species Reef Blend ships free with 8,000 to 10,000+ live pods across five species (Tisbe, Tigriopus, Apocyclops, Oithona, Euterpina). I check counts under the microscope from every batch before anything leaves.
- I think it's the best pods per dollar you can buy. Don't take my word for it: the price is on the site, the count is right above. Divide one by the other, then do the same with the last bottle you bought anywhere else.
- Subscribe & Save takes another 17.5% off, whatever size tank you run.
About mandarins: somewhere along the way "mandarins are expensive to keep" became accepted wisdom in this hobby. Run the numbers above and it stops being true. (Yes, the mandarin "goby" is technically a dragonet. It still eats like a teenager.)
New tank, no refugium, or a skinny rescue? Front-load: start with the Mandarin Mix or the 3-Bottle Set + Phyto. That's the set a member here posted about in my last thread ("came in great").
Why this week: the cultures are the densest they've ever been and the phyto is so dark we can barely thin it. Bottles ship swimming in that live phyto, so your pods arrive moving and ready to hunt, not starved from a week on a shelf.
Summer shipping: insulated packing with a cool pack matched to your forecast is available on every order, and 100% live arrival is on me either way. Anything shows up not swimming, I replace it, no hassle.

Wondering if your tank is ready for a mandarin? Drop the tank size below and I'll give you an honest answer. Fair warning: sometimes the honest answer is "don't buy pods yet." I'd rather talk you out of a bottle than replace a starved fish. Thank you for being the best part of this hobby always!
