    What is the brand name?

    Juvenile pods are extremely small.

    Im not sure of the name, I can't find anything like it online. Its just a short fat jar with a white lid and the water inside is perfectly clear. No little bits or any cloudiness or anything. That's why I was wondering about it being a gimmick.
    I will continue to look for a pic of the product or at least the name.

    The bottles/jars I was getting was short with a white lid but you could see the pods. I have heard of using those jars to start a pod farm. Put a small sponge in the jar to give them a place to breed and once in a while take the sponge out give it a squeeze and the pods go into the tank. Never did it myself. you can also buy them online. MUCH cheaper

    Thanks so much for all your help, i ordered these yesterday:
    DT`s Live Marine Copepod 6oz
    Do you think they will do the trick for the mandarin? Should i put both in my tank right away?

    PS- make sure your bubble doesn't fall. They don't like that as i discovered

    Mine fell the other day re doing my rocks and it got really pissed. I think it almost died. Its ok now and almost back to normal but one or two areas still look very deflated.

    Also, mine seems to like medium flow but not directly facing the current - about midway up the tank. It took me about 3 placements to find a good spot...just incase you were wondering ;D
