AquaHaus Tigriopus Copepods

Nutrient-Rich Surface Copepod Culture

Feed your reef with powerhouse nutrition.
Our AquaHaus Tigriopus Copepods (Tigriopus californicus) are bright red-orange copepods rich in essential fatty acids, carotenoids, and proteins—making them an ideal live feed for finicky fish, corals, and invertebrates. These pods tend to concentrate near the surface and glass, where they are easily accessible to reef inhabitants.

Tigriopus pods reproduce steadily under stable conditions and are cultured in clean saltwater with live phytoplankton for maximum vitality. Each bottle contains a dense, active population ready to jumpstart your reef’s live food chain.
