Really, I think the tubifex worms absorb their sex organs after mating, so I don't know if that can count as gay. The copepods...they are male and female. You are right - there are probably some gay ones in there.

@imagesunlimiteduk 1. a month is not far too early.

2. copepods are never a bad thing, they make mandarinfishes easier, and will keep fish fed when you are on short vacations.

3.they also clean some waste and algaes.

@imagesunlimiteduk , I am not very familiar with marine tanks, but as far as I know, copepods are not dangerous. They're plankton, no? Anyone? I think they might even be a good addition, in that they're life, and your other life forms can eat them up when they arrive at your tank.

i think i might set up a tank for tubifex worms, copepods, fairy shrimp, and a whole lot of little water critters (but no fish! I'm tired of fish tanks! The fish poop to much, and you have to feed them alot...)
