Question Pods
Do pods molt like shrimp? I have some pods the size of a pea and I always see skins floating around in my tank!

I have what I think are isopods and amphipods but nothing eats them! Will they get out of control? Thanks for the responses I am still new!

Things will eat them. If you have a lot of LR or a fuge, they will reproduce faster than they are predated upon. Thats a good thing as they provide additional food, especially for finicky eaters.

Can a Blueberry Pie have too many Blueberries?
Can you look, only to find too much money in your wallet?
Can't have too many pods...IMHO....

I'm pretty well stocked on copods, but am seriously lacking on Amphipods.

My Scooter Blenny has been going crazy since I got him yesterday morning, but should I purchase some amphipods somewhere?
