Whole Copepods & Calanus – Ready to Feed
Gamma Natural Copepods Liquid Feed is a concentrated marine food suspension combining whole Red Plankton (Calanus sp.) with large and small whole Copepods.
With Copepods ranging from approximately 0.5–1.8mm, it provides a convenient fine zooplankton food for marine fish, corals and other invertebrates – without needing to keep live cultures or defrost frozen food.
Why Choose Gamma Natural Copepods?
This food is particularly useful for:
• Dragonets
• Pipefish
• Seahorses
• Small marine fish
• Plankton-feeding fish
• Corals
• Other marine invertebrates
• Mixed reef aquariums
TMC recommends it for everyday feeding and specifically identifies dragonets, pipefish, seahorses and other small fish as ideal candidates.
More Than Just Copepods
Despite the product name, this isn't simply Copepods suspended in water.
The recipe combines whole Red Plankton (Calanus sp.) with both large and small whole Copepods measuring approximately 0.5–1.8mm.
Ingredients include water, Red Plankton (Calanus sp.), large and small Copepods, salt, crustacean derivatives, permitted antioxidants and stabilisers.
This combination makes it particularly useful when you want to introduce small natural zooplankton prey into a varied marine feeding routine.
Convenient Liquid Feeding
One of the biggest advantages is convenience.
Rather than maintaining live Copepod cultures or preparing frozen plankton, Gamma Natural Copepods provides a concentrated suspended food that's ready when you need it.
It can form part of the everyday feeding routine for fish, corals and other invertebrates, with TMC recommending that only enough is used to ensure full consumption without unnecessary waste.
Gamma Natural Copepods or NYOS Goldpods?
Although both are ready-to-feed plankton foods, they're distinctly different.
Gamma Natural Copepods combines whole Red Plankton with large and small Copepods from approximately 0.5–1.8mm.
NYOS Goldpods contains Calanus finmarchicus at approximately 2mm and is positioned as a premium Arctic Calanus concentrate.
Gamma therefore gives customers a mixed Copepod + Calanus suspension, while Goldpods provides the more specifically focused Calanus option.
