Question
Hi Jennifer i`m planning on buying a mandarin dragonnet and i know that this kind of fish eats live copepods and i want to know how to culture them if i can do it in the overflows or what is the easiest way to do it thanks

Answer
HI Juan. Culturing copepods is very easy. I have done it and had tons of them by the time I was done. I can explain to you how to do it but I am feeling a little lazy tonight(long day) so I will give you a great website to visit that will tell you everything you need to know.

Just follow their advice and you should start to see many little creatures developing quickly. You can also order your live culture from them to get you started!
