Apocyclops panamensis Reef Copepods
Apocyclops panamensis Copepods – “Apo Pods” The Apocyclops panamensis, known to reef hobbyists as “Apo Pods”, is one of the most versatile copepods you can add to a saltwater aquarium. Apo Pods combine the best traits of our Tisbe biminiensis (“Tisbe Pods”) and Tigriopus californicus (“Big Red Copepods” or “Tig Pods”), giving your reef tank a diverse feeding solution that supports both fish and corals. Dual Feeding Behavior Like Tisbe Pods: Hide in rockwork and substrate, perfect for active hunting fish like mandarins and scooter blennies. Like Big Red Copepods: Swim into the water column, making them accessible to a wider variety of fish and corals. This combination of benthic hiding and free-swimming behavior makes the Apo Pod an excellent all-around “utility” copepod for boosting biodiversity and providing continuous live nutrition in your reef tank.
