Culturing copepods

[jeffd]

Had a pack off you c Jan 11, and setup a tank for them. Appeared to be fine at first, but whole culture now seems to have crashed. Any thoughts

Sited on a well lit windowsill; small reptile heatpad underneath; airlined to small Whisper pump and fed daily on Kent Phytoplankton. Plenty of activity for first 2 weks then quickly declined....

these dont need heat....but they do need regular feding and partial water change....water has to be pea green for them feeding with PHYTO....to be honest i have done this in the past in seperate tanks. but better of just finding a safe place within the system for them to culture...without the extra cost hassel within a different tank
