They are easy to culture and perfect for propagation or restocking refugia. They breed rapidly, producing scores of eggs per female.

I added Tigger-Pods to my seahorse tank and noticed they quickly attracted the fish. The copepods are easy to maintain and the fish are more active and healthy. Great for a refugium setup.
Phil Ellison –
The pods breed well and provide consistent food for my pipefish. I found them easy to culture and they don’t require much space. A reliable addition to my reef system.

After introducing Tigger-Pods, my dragonets started feeding more actively. The jerky swimming motion draws attention and keeps the fish engaged. Highly recommended.
