Lots of microscopic juveniles
Upon initial inspection, I only spotted a few adults... like 5 or 6 few. Upon closer inspection, I was able to make out a large number of napulli. I put them in two 1.5 gal containers, and fed them OceanMagik while I waited for them to reach sexual maturity before exposing them to predators. In two days, it will be 3 weeks since I started culturing them. I've already harvesteded one of the containers of pods, split the other in half, and they're ready to be harvested again. While it's not ideal to raise three types together, keeping them well-fed has helped reduce cannibalism. Sorry about the poor video quality... it doesn't show what the eyes can see. The other container is identical...

Incredible customer service and product
I bought these directly from Algae Barn and via Amazon in the past with no issues. However, due to the extreme heat and humidity here in The South in late July, one cold pack wasn’t enough. The cold pack was hot and the copepods were DOA. I decided to just take the loss, but a few days later I messaged Algae Barn on Facebook Messenger just to let them know they may want to include more cold packs when shipping to the South in the summer. Don’t get me wrong, their jars are always VERY WELL PACKED, they just need an extra cold pack or 2. The next morning, Algae Barn messaged me that they appreciated the feedback and wish I would have let them know ASAP. Even though I didn’t request a replacement, they sent a free replacement that day. They apologized and even gave me 15% off my next order. You can’t beat that! I got the package today. The pods were a perfect temp- with 2 cold packs. The closest to the jar was warm but half the second pack was still icy. I messaged them to let them know everything was perfect and received a quick response. Great job, Algae Barn! I had resigned myself to getting my pods from an LFS during the hot months, but not anymore. I’m am Algae Barn customer for life

Great product worth the buy
When I first received I was very unsure as they all seemed dead I added to my tank and realized about a month later they had reproduced exponentially and I now have so many in my sand bed very pleased would recommend the buy totally worth the money I also received them about 4 days earlier than expected
