Copepod Hotel for Marine Aquariums

€14,95 EUR

Provide a sheltered structure for copepods and microfauna

Copepods, amphipods and other small organisms are an important part of a marine aquarium. This Copepod Hotel provides a sheltered internal structure where microfauna can hide from fish while remaining exposed to the surrounding aquarium water.

Place the hotel in your display aquarium, sump or refugium. Its compact design makes it easy to position between rockwork or filtration equipment, while the open structure allows water to move through it.

Why use a Copepod Hotel?

Sheltered internal structure — gives copepods, amphipods and other microfauna places to retreat from fish.
Open water flow — allows aquarium water to circulate through the hotel.
Additional surface area — provides numerous internal surfaces for microfauna to occupy.
Supports a natural food source — established copepod populations can provide live food for fish such as mandarins and wrasses.
Compact design — suitable for placement in a display aquarium, sump or refugium.
Reef-safe PETG — durable material suitable for continued use in marine aquariums.
Available individually or as a set — choose the configuration that best suits your aquarium.

Choose your version

Single

Includes one Copepod Hotel measuring approximately 6 × 6 × 5 cm. This compact version can be positioned discreetly between rockwork or inside a sump or refugium.

Set

Includes two Copepod Hotels and one PETG holder. The complete set measures approximately 13.5 × 7 × 5.5 cm and keeps both hotels together in one organized unit.

Placement

Position the Copepod Hotel in an area with water movement, but where it will not be continually disturbed by aquarium maintenance or livestock.

By providing sheltered spaces that fish cannot easily reach, the Copepod Hotel gives copepods a safer place to settle and reproduce. As the population grows, copepods can gradually spread into the surrounding aquarium and provide a natural food source for its inhabitants.
