Zooplankton Frenzy – Complete Live Copepod & Rotifer Mix for Reef Tanks

After years of requests, Pod Your Reef is proud to introduce Zooplankton Frenzy — our first-ever blended live zooplankton culture. This dynamic mix delivers live prey ranging from 42 microns to 2000 microns, providing a full-spectrum food source that supports fish, corals, and filter feeders at every stage of the reef food chain.

Why Zooplankton Frenzy is Different

• Combines four proven live food species in one bottle
• Feeds everything from coral polyps to larger pod-eating fish
• 100% aquacultured – pest- and pathogen-free
• Shipped fresh and alive for peak nutrition and viability

What’s Inside Each 16 oz Bottle?

• Tisbe biminiensis – Small, benthic harpacticoid copepods that hide in rockwork and substrate, feeding on detritus and film algae. Excellent for active hunters like mandarins and scooter blennies.
• Apocyclops panamensis – Medium-sized, free-swimming cyclopoid copepods that feed both from the substrate and the water column. Perfect for fish, corals, and boosting biodiversity.
• Tigriopus californicus – Large, bright-red harpacticoid copepods rich in astaxanthin and HUFA. Their size and swim pattern trigger strong feeding responses in even the pickiest fish.
• Rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) – Microscopic (42 microns) zooplankton ideal for coral polyps, filter feeders, and larval fish. Excellent for targeted coral feeding and early life-stage nutrition.

Perfect For

• Mandarins, scooter blennies, anthias, and other pod-dependent fish
• Corals requiring small-particle planktonic food
• Filter feeders such as clams, feather dusters, and sponges
• Seeding refugiums or new reef tanks with a balanced live food web

Feeding & Care

Add Zooplankton Frenzy directly to your display tank or refugium. Target feed corals and filter feeders for maximum impact. For continuous availability, dose regularly or culture in a separate refugium with live phytoplankton to maintain reproduction and nutritional quality.
