    I'm looking for Greenwater and Copepods, preferably in the Cedar Rapids or Iowa City area.  If you have any, please pm me your location and price.
    Thanks!

    Talk go Clown. He can set you up with the green water.

    Copepods you might have more trouble finding locally.

    Coralville Bay in Coraville has Copepods (tigerpods), $20.00 a bottle.

    Thanks for the info.
    I would like to culture them, so it sounds like tigerpods are out, but it might be a temporary option.
    If anyone else knows where I can get copepods locally, please let me know.

    I'm happy to say I will be getting greenwater, rotifers, and mysid shrimp this weekend. (thanks Clown!)

    I'd still like to find some copepods locally rather than order online, so if anyone knows where I can get them, please let me know.

    Do you have a sump? I've a handful of chaeto you can have, it's FULL of copepods. Just toss it in your sump/refugium and your set. I'm not sure if you're looking to culture them or not, but this would get a great population in a tank.

    I don't have sump, but I have a spare 5 gallon I plan to use to culture them.  I have some chaeto already, but it didn't have many copepods in it to get me started...  Hoping to get a good culture going for my pipefish.  I'll probably send you a PM when I'm in the Cedar Falls area, because I think that'd be very helpful.
