Why don't I have more copepods?
I really REALLY REALLY want one of these but I so terrified that I don't have enough copepods in my tank and the little guy would starve. I bought some early on in hopes of creating a larger colony sooner. My normal LFS told me about 6 months and I should be good. Then I went to another LFS and they told me a neat trick of waiting until my house was dark and to take a flashlight to the tank and I would be able to see them crawling around. If I saw A BUNCH then I was ready. (Had moonlights in tank on when I looked) That night to my horror I only saw 2. My tank is 8 months old, so why don't I have more of them. Then I have also seen articles that said Mangerane Gobies will eat things other then Copepods. Help Please!
