Pods

I am assuming you are talking about Isopods, the big suckers.

I dont see them in my display either, but I know they are there because sometimes I see their shell floating around after they molt.

I have seen them up to 1/2 long in my fuge.

The copepods I can see on my display tank glass, tiny tiny tiny

 

lol,

probably, if not trade some cheate with someone that does. They are great for your tank.

 

those are your isopods

 

Um, how long has your tank been set up?

Copepods are incredibly small, almost like a speck of dust. Mandarins need a TON of them.

The good rule of thumb to keep a mandarin healthy is set up at least 6 months & have a refugium. If you fit both those you should be ok.

My cheateo is infested with SOMETHING, I know that. They are small, a couple millimeters at the most. They swim around like crazy giant sperm cells.
LOL, what a comparison

 

i have several shells and barnicals in my tank and when ever i shine a flashlight(day or night) i see my copepods swimming around like mad inside the shells or barnicals! most amphipods or isopods can be seen easily with the naked eye and seem to crawl around but copepods seem to swim in the masses in dimmly lit areas of my tank,
