EBay PAC PODS are a Refrigerated Food.  These are not LIVE Copepods.  This is a fish food.  Do not dump the entire container into your aquarium, you will nuke it.   Pac-Pods™ are small, nutrition-packed North Pacific copepods (500-800 microns) harvested and freshly frozen at sea for maximum nutrition. In the ocean, copepods form the basis for much of the marine food web. Naturally rich in carotenoids, protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and waxy esters for growth. The small size and nutritional composition of Pac-Pods make them irresistible to fish and corals from SPS, LPS, softies, to NPS. Pac-Pods are sterilized with gamma irradiation for maximum biosecurity.
