Arcti-Pods vs Trigger-Pods

Was at my LFS today and noticed a few new products.

Arcti-Pods
Tigger-Pods

I am wondering which one of these two would be good for Mandarin Dragonets (Gobies). Here is what they two bottles look like.

More info on both products.
Arcti-Pods
Tigger-Pods

 

ok good thing i looked at the ad. cause the tiger pods are alive(this is what you want!!!!for the mandarin)

the arctic pods are dead pods collected from cold waters, they are excellent fish/coral food but they are not a live food.

 

OK cool yeah I can see them swimming around in the bottle, the tigger-pods that is. Thanks for the info!

 

Damn I just realized I posted this in the ASAP forum My bad!

 

there are another set of pods in a bottle for sale that have 3 different types in it. i think that was suppose to be better then the trigger pods for reproduction.
here it is

i believe the trigger pods were controversal because they aren't from a tropical climate so there longevity in the aquarium is questionable.

 

Oh nice yeah I will have to keep an eye out for those. How often would I need to add a bottle of that stuff to my take? Maybe like once a month or once every two months?

 

depends upon your fish load and type of fish. also a safe place where pods can hide and reproduce will make big difference, like a fuge or tight stack of rocks

 

Moved.

 

Mandarins will eat the arcti-pods but it is a messy food and can be tough for them to find it. Tigger-pods are good for restocking a refuge but I prefer to get them in a different species. 1000+ amphipods / copepods- FOOD FOR SALTWATER AQUARIUM - eBay (item 140281221567 end time Dec-10-08 19:06:37 PST)
