Are these something you can keep in a pod motel in your tank? I have read that many fish eat these things...just curious.

Reed mariculture can fix you up with a starter kit. The real trick to keep them going is not to overfeed. It does take some practice but isnt all that difficult. Petco has some little 1g aga aquariums that work great, you will also need a heater and air pump. besure not to forget to buy the anti ammonia chemical I forget what its called.

My husband basically built a box out of egg crating and nylon screening on the inside. I poked some bigger holes in it so that the bigger pods could get in and out---but my hermit crabs, fish, and other critters cannot get into it. Basically it is a "safe house" for pods to live and multiply. Think of it as an in tank refugium. I do have a little bit of macro algae in it--will be getting more at a later date.
