Day 6. 8:30am.. the jars look good. But after doing a little more research on the Copepods. It looks like they're going to take a little longer to grow. Like 2 to 4 weeks. It's only the 6th day with the jar. They are dancing in there but it's not enough of them to culture. So I am going to add more Copepods from my local LFS. And give it a couple of more weeks.

Is the idea with the copepods once there is enough to culture there should be an endless supply as you just take out a bit at a time?

Yes.. I wish I had a high definition camera for you guys to see. There are very tiny little copepods that I can see with the light I have. But they are very tiny. Some are on the bottom and in the corners. Some are swimming. I think I'll get more at the LFS just to speed up the process. When I started I only added a 8oz jar to this 96oz jar.
