Give your marine fish a nutritious, natural zooplankton-based diet with Reef Nutrition Pac-Pods, a highly concentrated refrigerated food made from whole North Pacific copepods.

Pac-Pods provide marine fish with an enticing food source that closely resembles the small crustaceans many species naturally consume in the wild. Their size makes them an excellent choice for a wide variety of saltwater fish, including finicky feeders and species that naturally hunt zooplankton throughout the day.

Unlike live copepods used to establish populations in an aquarium, Pac-Pods are a refrigerated prepared food and are not alive. Simply feed the desired amount and return the bottle to refrigeration.

Why Pac-Pods?

Whole Pacific Copepods
Made with whole copepods harvested from cold North Pacific waters, providing a natural marine food source.

Excellent for Marine Fish
Ideal for anthias, wrasses, clownfish, chromis, gobies, mandarins, dragonets, seahorses and many other marine species.

Natural Feeding Response
Copepods are a natural component of the marine food web and can encourage enthusiastic feeding behavior from fish accustomed to hunting small crustaceans.

Great for Finicky Feeders
The natural appearance and marine origin of Pac-Pods make them a useful option for diversifying the diets of selective marine fish.

Highly Concentrated
A concentrated formula makes it easy to provide copepod-based nutrition without maintaining a live culture.

No Thawing Required
Unlike frozen foods, Pac-Pods can be fed directly from the refrigerated bottle.

Available Sizes

16 oz – $49.99
Great for established marine aquariums and regular feeding.

32 oz – $89.99
Ideal for larger aquariums, heavily stocked systems or aquarists feeding Pac-Pods frequently.

Feeding Directions

Invert the bottle several times before use to distribute the copepods throughout the concentrate.

Add the desired amount directly to a high-flow area of the aquarium for broadcast feeding.

For more controlled feeding, temporarily reduce circulation and add Pac-Pods near the fish or other animals being fed.

Start with a conservative amount and adjust based on the number and size of animals in your aquarium. Feed only what your livestock can consume and avoid excessive feeding to help maintain water quality.

Pac-Pods can be rotated with other marine foods to provide a varied and diverse diet.

Storage

Keep refrigerated. Do not freeze.

Return Pac-Pods to refrigeration promptly after each use and keep the container properly closed between feedings.
