is there a way to get copepods to add to your tank , for food? other than
buying more live rock of course.

Here are some images of these tiny white dots I saw in my son's tank:

Copepods are part of the food chain. If you dose your tank with live
phytoplankton, the copepods will eat it. And some fish eat copepods, such
as wrasses and mandarins. The circle of life... even in a 10g nano.

Thanks, A 10gal is so sensitive, I just
got worried and thought I had some type
of infestation. Glad it's normal.
