Where to buy reef bugs..(amphipods, arthopods...)

[budddman]

I've purchase, tiger pods in the refrigerated bottle, and even got a capri sun like pouch of reef pods( the tisebre kind...or whatever they are). What I would like to know is where I can purchase amphipods, arthopods and the like, even copepods. I would really like to infuse my system with a lot of bugs.

So any good sites out there?

There are vendors here that also sell them, or can get them if they don't have in stock

You live in Riverhead, just go to a muddy beach and collect a few thousand.
You need to go toa bay, I can't think of one near you at the moment but I got a million yesterday in Port Washington, Yes I know fifty miles from you.

You beat me to it

i would be afraid to pick up bacteria or parasites. How do you go about collecting them. Very interested in your method.

I normally go to a muddy beach or boat ramp and find rocks in the mud. Under them are usually hundreds of amphipods. I just shake the rock in a bucket of seawater.
I also collect them in Riverhead. A sandy beach usually doesn't work, you need mud but you can find some even on a sandy beach if you can find wood or rocks to turn over.
