For those who use copepods and bbs for dragonets, how often do you add bbs to the tank for partial supplement feedings along with a big abundance of copepods that’s already seeded to the tank? Can you release them once a day or just feed sporadically throughout the day to avoid the tank from crashing? Yes, I do know they’re only good enough for 24hrs post hatching but looking to add variety in feeding and wondered what others do when they add live bbs to their tank?

I hatch BBS daily and feed about 10ml of the BBS in a syringe every day maybe 2-3 times per day. I do put them in spirulina mixed tank water so they can soak up some of it and be a more nutritious snack. All fish in the tank go nuts when they see the little guys bouncing all over the water column.
