Hi all,
I also have <"Freeze-dried Arctic Copepods">, but I've no idea what their nutritional value is compared to live.
They use them a lot in marine aquaculture <"https://www.algaebarn.com/blog/cope...-harpacticoid-copepod-tigriopus-californicus/">
Have a look at <"https://www.apistogramma.com/forum/threads/taeniacara-candidi.11895/page-2#post-64930">.
cheers Darrel
Yes, freshwater copepods are a favoured food item for Apistogramma, but difficult to culture in large amounts <"http://forum.nanfa.org/index.php/topic/15996-culturing-copepods/">. I feed any I get from my Daphnia buckets, but it isn't ever very many.
