Hey all,
My previous tank had been set up for just over a year, and I'd been growing the copepod population in that tank with the intention to get a pair of mandarin dragonets. Unfortunately I had to break that tank down and downsize into 2 smaller tanks.
Due to some phosphate issues, I didn't reuse any rock from the previous tank just to avoid any issues on that front. This means that none of the copepods really made it over to the new 60 gallon tank.
My question is how long will I have to dose/breed copepods to get the new tank up to an acceptable level for a mandarin/s?
