Great harvest you've got going on there. Those add a real nice diversity to a system. Based on the picture you posted those are amphipods though, not copepods. Mandarins don't eat amphipods. These are great to add to a system, but they shouldn't be offered as food for Mandarins.

Best of luck with these, they're super......

Absolutely, I'm sure you do have copepods too. They're just much more difficult to collect and photograph. The amphipods (pictured) are probably 10x larger than the copepods (just an estimate).

Great deal for whoever is looking to increase their pod population.

Filter socks are a treasure trove for critters.
