AlgaGenPods™ Tigriopus

AlgaGenPods™ Tigriopus– Your Aquarium’s Natural Cleanup Crew & Live Food Tigriopus are tiny, hardy copepods naturally found in coastal tide pools along North America and Asia. These little “harpacticoid” copepods love crawling over rocks and sand, constantly scavenging for food. What do they eat? They munch on detritus (organic waste), phytoplankton, decaying matter, and other bits of junk in your tank. Basically, they’re nature’s little vacuum cleaners! Why you’ll love them: - Excellent live food – Perfect for picky eaters like Mandarin fish, Seahorses, Wrasses, and many other reef fish. Even your SPS and LPS corals can benefit from them. - Helps keep your tank cleaner – They eat decaying material before it breaks down and pollutes the water with excess nutrients (like nitrogen and phosphate). Less nutrients = fewer annoying algae outbreaks. - Natural nutrient export – As they eat waste and multiply, they turn that “junk” into their own bodies. When your fish and corals eat the copepods, those nutrients get locked away instead of fueling algae. In short, Tigriopus copepods are both a nutritious live food and a helpful member of your reef’s cleanup crew. A win-win for a healthier, more balanced aquarium!
