Hey guys, I saw the thread about people wanting pods for the swap. Well I have successfully breeded Copepods many times before. If you guys would like, I can try to set up my hatchery and get it going for the swap. Only thing is I cannot 100% guarantee they will be ready. I will try to breed as many as I can. A few days before the swap I will post how much I have and see how many I can get. I'll do my absolute best to try to get at least 100-200 in each container. They will most likely be very small on the day of the swap, but if you hold the water up to the sky or a bright light you will see them all swimming around. I'm willing to sell or trade for a bag. Limit one bag per person. Post on this thread if your interested. I will go in order I get your screen name. BUT to be fair, the people who posted in the other thread about wanting pods, if they want pods, I'm putting them on top of the list since they already asked... Looking for trade, or 15 bucks a bag. 100-200 in a bag. Copepods only. I cannot breed trigger, or archs or any other types of pods. Every time I try for some reason they do not successfully make it....

Again, I cannot guarantee I will have these, but will set it up if I get a few people interested. No paypal to hold needed. Before week before swap, I'll post if I will deffinetly have them or not. don't get your hopes up to high though. I have done this about 15 times. 13 of the times worked successfully and had so many I gave most away to friends...

If all goes well I should have a few more bags I can make. Right now it's going first come first serve like I said. So top of the list down I will go... As many bags as I can. I will count all the bags in the end, and after that count down that many names from that current list I just posted. After they hatch, I'll PM everyone and you all send me your cell number and we can meet up at the swap somewhere and do it all in one shot

well, took longer then i wanted, but i finally got some hatched! only downside is since it did take longer then i wanted...they are extremeellyyyyyyy small still. usually when lifted up and looked at through sunlight you can easily see them swimming around. these guys, wow, this is going to come down to the wire. by saturday ill send everyone a PM on how its going, but if i feel they are TOO small to transfer, then sadly im not going to bring them. if they are too small, i would not want to charge or trade anything for them. if i feel saturday the size is safe to let go of tho, ill come up with the list of people getting them and PM and let you all know...

JUST SO YOU KNOW... people in jersey or close to jersey, i at anytime can hatch some pods for you, so if you every really need some, i could always meet up somewhere after the swap. im in sussex, but i go to clifton and manhattan aquarium alot. at anytime shoot me a PM after the swap for one day to meet up...
