Notes: 
Attempting to co-culture juvenile clownfish and Tiger pods, my plan is to use the tiger pods as a way to remove uneaten food and other waste and feed the juvenile clownfish.


You will be required to provide photographic evidence and as much detail as possible about your project in this thread.

The clowns are just going to eat all the tigger pods. Even with significant hiding places, the clowns will decimate the population until none are left. 

I agree.  Clown larvae are very hungry and theres no way the tigriopus could keep up.  Your best bet is to do a separate culture for tigriopus and if any survive in the tank it will just be a bonus.  

Yes, sir. Their bellies are about to explode, I'm actually a little concerned my fry has overeaten, but I will say that I've visited a friend doing the same exact thing and he has a bad infestation of pods all over the tank... They were literally crawling on top of each other.
