What to feed copepods?
Just got back from Boca Pass beach with tons of pods, and macro, started up my 20 qt tank. just about can see the back of the tank there are so many pods, My question is what do they eat? Phytoplankton?

they scavengers, seeking out wastes that collect on the substrate. If you're worried about feeding them and there's no fish in the tank, just drop a bit of food in there once a week or so.
