Are these pods????

[spoonman]

I hope they are. I seeded some tigger pods about 3 weeks ago and didnt think they survived. This is on the side of my frag rack in the 75 gallon dt.

These aren't Isopods are they????? It looks like one of the pics I saw of Isopods and it says they are predatory.

They look like amphipods to me. Mainly because they are biggerr

 

[spoonman]

Cool, I hope so. I am leaving this tank with only one fish in it for the next couple months due to the recent wipeout. But, hopefully a mandarin will be in my future down the road. Thanks Nu-Nu, but you are still wrong about the torch! LOL!

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Sorry to hear about your recent bad luck with the fish you had an epic stock list goin with those clowns, foxface, and kole (right?)

I am never wrong

 

[spoonman]

Yep, lost the clowns, foxface and kole tang. but you are wrong about the torch!

 

[Flreefer]

Yeah I agree with Nu-Nu on this one, look like amphipods. Copepods looks more like sperm, little heads with a long tail.

 

[spoonman]

Anyone else care to give an opinion?

 

[Flreefer]

Hey spoon, sorry to here about your fish loss.
That really sucks! That's a lot to lose.
Best of luck, moving forward.

So, I think what I have looks like Isopods. What is you opinion Melosu?

 

[kdpuffer]

Look like Isopods to me

 

[spoonman]

If they are isopods, should I be worried or will they be eaten like other pods?
