    If you have LR and/or a sand bed in your tank, you more than likely already have some copepods and amphipods in your tank. Once you make your pod farm all you have to do is place it somewhere in your tank and/or sump and over time your pods should start reproducing to larger numbers.

    But to answer your original question, if you are looking for starter cultures, you can buy them in most LFS (Tigger-Pods comes to mind). Alternatively, you can do an internet search for "live copepods" and you will find quite a bit of online retailers that offer them.
