I know this sounds like aj obvious question but everywhere I see online the copepods are sold as marine and I can't seem to find freshwater ones.

Can these copepods (sold as marine) still live and breed in Freshwater tanks (I'm guessing the answer is no but there's no harm in asking)?

Copepods are a group of small bugs, as far as I know those marine copepods you see in lfs won’t survive too long in a freshwater aquarium. An alternative to them is cyclops, which do meet your requirements 👍

However, (edit) as the marine bags are so generically labelled, who’s to say there aren’t some copepods that aren’t salinity bound in there?
