- Reef Benefits and General Information
- Tisbe belong to the harpacticoid copepod family and are very small so they can get into virtually any tight space to eat microalgae, fish waste, phytoplankton, diatoms, bacteria (like biofilms), fungi, uneaten food and detritus. They are also very adaptable and can handle large swings in reef parameters. Great food source for finicky eaters that prefer live foods such as seahorses, pipe dragons, anthias, wrasse and mandarins. Eggs released from females are a great food source for corals and filter feeders. Tisbe as with any pod species should be added to the refugium to be able to establish a population without predators so that they can continuously feed the reef above! These are 100% aqua cultured here in house at Bulldawg Reef. We recommend feeding Tisbe pods any one of our Bulldawg Reef Juice mixes based on what benefits you are hoping to give to your reef!
