Around 3 days ago I saw copepods in my 2.5G. Gross. I can't kill them with copper medications, because I have RCS in the tank, so the only option is to get fish to eat the copepods. The question is what fish will?

White Clouds? Endlers? I have 3 boraras merah in the tank but none of them are interested.:mad:

Copepods won't hurt your aquarium or your shrimp. If you let them colonize there, they only eat a little bit of algae and you can siphon them out to feed to other fish. Practically any fish well eat these little buggers. Idk if I have any, never saw them before, but I heard that a lot of people may have them without realizing it.

I'm not concerned about the copepods harming anything; I just dont like the idea of lice looking things in my tank. I may move my male endlers to the 2.5G.
