I rarely see copepods anymore but there are tons of amphipods everywhere in my tank. My Melanurus Wrasse and Springeri Damselfish are fat and happy so that probably explains my copepods...

I don’t have anything in the tank that will focus too hard on them at the moment so hopefully they can build up their population to a massive amount! I plan on having multiple wrasses and hopefully a ruby dragonet if I can maintain the pod population.

I have two Springeri Damselfish and my Melanurus Wrasse. I'd like to add a Yellow Coris Wrasse and a Springeri Dottyback. My wife loves Dragonets but I'm not sure if that will ever be a possibility. I have an abundance of amphipods for sure plus the bristleworm population but keeping a Dragonet long-term with my current wrasse will be difficult enough and then if add any Flasher or Fairy Wrasses and the Yellow Coris - even without a Dottyback I'd be pushing my luck.
You're having me worried about me dragonet. I'm adding a wrasse soon and probably lost pods with the transfer. I should dose some...

The dragonet is my biggest worry on my stock list as well! I’m hoping I can find one that’s been reliably eating frozen and is healthy and fat. As much as I would like one, I think I’m in the same boat where it just wouldn’t be a possibility if I end up having too many fish that compete for pods and it won’t supplement with frozen food. I just can’t stand the thought of it withering away and starving to death!

I saw copepods last night, just not as booming of a population as the amphipods. Not saying a Dragonet won't survive your tank, just saying with 5-6 other pod eaters in my tank if it's not eating prepared foods it might not last long in my tank.
I see mine more active during feeding. I suspect he eats frozen, but can't confirm.
long term, I'm not too worried, mostly if there is a lag. I dosed a LOT of phyto last night, such that my whole living room smelled of the stuff. I will likely hit up dinkin again soon.

Billy your tank is really big and you have a ton of rock, as long as you supplement with pods every now and then you will be fine!! You could always set up a refugium as well if you are super worried about it.

If you are not already dosing live phyto, I would start. My pod population went crazy when I started. Make sure it’s a blend of live phyto, not just one species. Try out Dinkins. I really like their products.
