copepods, amphipods, and isopods, what your take on them
since i added a hang on fuge is it possible to have to many pods in tank, i mean i have a cleaner wrasse and six line wrasse and still when the lights are out and moonlights on wow. There is a serious infestations of pods in my tank when light go out i mean freaky big time, mostly amphipods, is there a such thing as to many or should i just let it go and eventually my little six line will get bigger and take care of them.

Pods... Yummmm... I don't think you can have too many. Something will eat them, not just your wrasse.

They will adjust to the food supply. Not to worry, they are a good thing. with a heathy load of pods, a food source exists for you to consider some of the special animals that feed on um. congrats.
