Live food for those animals like seahorses, mandarins, etc that seem to need small live prey to acclimate to our enclosed systems. 3. Live prey for all kinds of species currently being cultured and new ones yet cracked that need small nutritious live zooplankton in the first stages of their planktonic existence. 4.

Can use these to target feed previously hard to keep types of corals like gonoporia. 9. Zooplankton have important nutritional value needed by many of our captive animals. Keep in mind that the conditions in our aquariums all differ from one another so a general guideline is that it can take up to 2 or three doses of these portions during a 3 month period before you get an established breeding population in your tank at home. Or they may just take off from the first dosage and you might see fantastic results in 2-3 weeks. Be patient. In the modern Marine aquarium we are constantly striving to imitate the conditions found in the wild reef systems of the ocean. Until recently not too much attention has been given to the role that Zooplankton plays in the wild ecosystem of the reefs. Do to the hours that us aquaculture hobbyist spend looking at and caring for our captive reefs we have been noticing the reactions of our corals and fish and other inverts when we introduce live zooplankton ( rotifers, Brineshrimp, and now Copepods). It is becoming apparent that an essential part of this ecosystem is thousands of different copepod types. While diving at night on a reef you can see all this zooplankton rising and swimming in the water column and all the filter feeders and corals feeding. A large portion of this zooplankton is comprised of copepods.
