Description:
| Live Pods- Great Fish and Coral Food |
- Amphipods can be distinguished from copepods as able to seen at a distance.
- Amphipods range in size from 5-10mm, where as copepods range from 1-3mm.
- This listing is for a variety of both.
- Amphipods and copepods make excellent food for picky eaters like seahorses. Mandarin gobies love them and they are essential to a reef tank adding biodiversity.
- Tanks can be seeded with them by introducing ~500 per 25 gallons or through the use of an upstream fishless refugium kept dimly lit.
- The most common amphipods found in aquaria are either herbivores or detritivores. They tend to eat either plant or algal material preferentially and either graze on algae or eat debris of plant or algal origin.
- In our aquaria, amphipods are typically part of the cleanup crew. In addition, they are good food for whatever fish can catch them. Altogether they are a beneficial and interesting component of our systems' fauna.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A MIXTURE OF AMPHIPODS AND COPEPODS.
- We have no way of determining what percentage will be amphipods or copepods or what you are more likely to receive (amphipods or copepods).
- Pods are small - some our very small - especially if they are "toddlers".
- You will not be able to count them - as we are unable to count them for each and every order - due to their size and speed.
- To ensure that you get what you pay for, we use a measurement that has been counted and observed for a greater portion that 1000 per bag. To confirm, please observe the shear amount of life in the bag you receive after you gently thump the bag with your finger.
- The transport media will literally crawl with life, so enjoy and please us know immediately if there is an issue with your shipment.

I have ordered these twice both times i am amazed by the packaging. the first order i would have questioned if there were in fact 250 pods as only large amphiopods can be easily seen. after a few weeks of the pods being in my sump i began to notice it was becoming full of pod life as a result of the pods growing in size making them visible to the naked eye. the second order had many more large pods. All in all I will definatly order more. |

Due to work addy, post office, and weekend, I got my pods 3 days late.........
They all seemed to be alive.
There were a bunch, and I added them to 2 tanks and a sump.
My angel fish killed several of the bigger ones.
Hopefully some will survive for the mandarin.
I think I will be ordering these every other week or so...

Saltwater Amphipods & Copepods - 250 |

These critters arrived with a heat pack during 30-degree temps. They needed some tank water temperature drips before becoming very active. Many were hiding in the filter floss they ship with so I found it best to wedge the floss in between rocks in the tank for a day or so to let the pods seek better shelter. I am getting ready to order my third batch. Great deal for the money and convenience. |

I bought these for my 29 gal nano in preparation for a Mandarin Goby, and they were awesome! I put half in my main tank and half in my refugium about a month ago, and I just looked in my refugium yesterday and I could see them crawling around all over. I don't have a light back there yet, so I wasn't sure how they would do, but they seem to be doing just fine, and my Mandarin couldn't be happier. I will be getting more of these for sure. |

Amazing packing job and super fast shipping!! As far as I can tell, not one single pod died. These things were HUGE and so many of them!! They acclimated very quickly and have set up shop in my tank. Very pleased! |

Great place to do business with. On time and alive.I will be doing business with them again. |

More than expected! |
|
Thought there would be a lot less than there was. Sponges are filled with them, so i would advise letting them sit for awhile in the tank. 5-10 min should be good. |
|
| Jerry of El Sobrante
WOW! |
|
I ordered 250 and there way way more then that at least 500+ they are everywhere!!! They have been cleaning a lot I was sure they would all hide but they didn't now i don't really have any fish so they were dropped in during the day and are not being eaten "yet". I'll be buying a few hundred more soon thanks R2G! |

I am VERY impressed at how well the package came. To be honest, buying these at $9.99 is almost worth the packaging alone.
1) shipped in a nice packed styrofoam box, with heat pack
2) a little filter media was added to keep the pods (most) safe.
10/10 for packaging, 10/10 for customer service. R2G really took care of me by replacing a portion of my pods order that didn't make the trip.
I won't hesitate to buy from again, as a matter of fact... I did just reorder and ordered some other things! Thanks R2G!!! |

Fantastic! |

Despite shipping two day in cold weather, the pods were in perfect shape when they arrived. Packaging was excellent!
I ordered 2 250 portions, and I think I probably ended up with 50% more than that. The pods were active and healthy, when I dumped them in I did not spot a single dead individual. They all quickly ran and hid, just like I'd expect. They are eating voraciously, I watched a group of them consume an entire krill in about 30 minutes.
Definitely good cleanup bugs, and I will definitely buy again. |

Healthiest pods I have ever gotton. Very lively little bunch, my fish was eating them up and they took to the rocks and sand very quickly in retreat. I was not sure how to get them out of the filter media so I just tore it a little at a time and stretched it out. They were popping out like crazy right into the tank. |

When these arrived at my house i thought they would be all dead but they weren't. the people at reefs 2 go really took an extra step to make sure they arrived alive i also got a free coral frag with my purchase for no additional charge and cheap price. can't bet that and I WILL BE ORDERING AGAIN soon. |

Just like every other review on this site im so impressed. I have bought pods from otehr sourses and they were ok at best. This just blew my mind. From those tiny little critters to huge sizes. I put the filter media with a handfull in my refugium to breed. The remainder i dumed in my tank. I feed my scooter blenny baby brine that he loves..But when i dumped these in he went nuts!!! If i could give this higher than a 10/10 i would. WILL be buying again! |

I bought pods from a few retailers. I couldn't even see them in the bottles, I thought I got ripped off and so did my family. Said I bought an expensive bottle of water. Then I gave REEFS2GO a chance. The best move I made on the live foods REEFS2GO are the best. I was actually a little scared to open the bag, but I did. HA! HA! You don't even have to squint to see the copepods, their that big and the price is terriffic. Don't hesitate with REEFS2GO you will be very very pleased. I know I am every time I order form these guys!!! |
