Amphipods Plus 16oz Bag of Live Tisbe copepods. (100 cnt)

I was a little iffy on how good/alive these would be but after a tank crash, I thought I’d give it a shot instead of replacing a bunch of live rock. When they arrived the packing made me a little more nervous because it said something to the effect of “don’t worry if they look dead, they’re fine!” My expectations and concerns were blown away when all of them were extremely active and alive!! There were enough to instantly turn my sump into a thriving active and bustling sump again. They quickly got to work on the hair algae which had developed around my chaeto and cut it down overnight. The amphipods are a critical link in the waste breakdown process between larger organisms, such as crabs, and smaller ones such as microscopic bacteria. My next concern was, how will they acclimate? These guys were still thriving and were well adjusted the next day too- already making tunnels in my sump sand bed. If you need amphipods, these are great and will begin to reproduce through your entire setup within a very short time.

There was an issue with my delivery. While no fault of Aquaculture Nursery Farms, they went the extra mile and resent the order when they didn't really have to do that. I have bought from here before and will continue to use them as my source for quality pods and excellent customer service.

Used this to start a population in my refugium, everything arrived happy and healthy, would buy again.

Not only are they all dead, but many were in pieces. The instructions said they may be dormant, so I tried warming them up by floating them in the tank, but not one was alive. Waste of money

Was hesitant to try ordering live pods again but decided to give this seller a try. Am glad I did. Pods arrived alive and there were plenty to start a colony.

Alive and healthy

Not sure about the other negative reviews. Mine arrived in prefect packaging, alive and doing the hustle. It seemed I got more than advertised. Five stars for sure.

Received my order all were dead.
