Harvesting Copepod Culture to Feed Mandarin Dragonet | Blue Reef Tank

In this week's video, I am going to be showing you guys how I harvest my own copepod culture to feed Peanut, my mandarin dragonet. Watch the up-close video of the copepod culture and all the other interesting planktonic creatures that live in it (rotifers etc.)

I have been cultivating my own phytoplankton and copepods, and so far I am really happy with the result. If you want to see how I do it, let me know in the comment section below!
