I cannot seem to find how to start a new copepod culture from an established.

What are the steps for continuing to produce copepods?

I tried to find a videos but can't find anything beside how to culture copepods.

Thanks for any help!

To start a new culture, you just move some of the pods over to a new container of saltwater and add phyto to the culture to feed them. You move more pods for a bigger container and less pods for a smaller one.

As mentioned above, I just set up a container of saltwater beside my culture, then use a turkey baster to suck some of the culture and add to the new saltwater et voila
