About REEFreshments® Tisbe Live Copepods
Our Tisbe starter culture is perfect for aquarists who are interested in raising their own Tisbe biminiensis copepods or who want to give their aquarium inhabitants a delicious snack. Tisbe biminiensis are a harpacticoid copepod, meaning that they are bottom-dwellers (benthic). In addition to consuming microalgae, Tisbe biminiensis serve as scavengers, contributing to an aquarium's clean-up crew. They are a hardy copepod, they reproduce very quickly, and they can be easily cultured in the main display, a refugium, or in a separate dedicated system by simply adding our Live Phytoplankton.
