haha. groupers love them....whales love them too!
Awesome nutritious copepods....
Today, I saw a copepod which is pregnant under the microscope! There were many eggs inside the mother copepod.(: And it seems like my friend happen to get the larvae of the copepod??? I'm still not sure what is it.
I'll upload the pictures as soon as i can if u're interested!

I think I've found out what copepod species is it..Cyclopoidea? Any idea if im right?
Does the first picture look like the copepod is carrying 2 egg sacks???

Can copepods in the baby stage look like tadpoles with lil white heads?

Hmm.....I do not think so....in fact when they are still a baby they don't resemble a tadpole at all!see these 2 links:http://www.jacksonbottom.org/waterquality_concepts.htm#macroinvertebrates and http://www.fimr.fi/en/tietoa/ulappa/en_GB/copepoda/ --> their life cycle. When the copepods are still babies, they can be considered nauplius larva or copepodites...that's how I see them.(:
