My house is on the the Pamlico sound here in NC. I am on the dock everyday fishing, checking my crab pots, etc. and I've been thinking about the concept of using the pods in the water to stock the fuge on my tank. When pulling in my crab pots or cast net, hundreds of pods are all over the deck. Anyone know if this would work for positively increasing the pod population in my tank? I've been researching to find out if there are "harmful" pods versus beneficial pods, and am having no luck in my search. Any info would be much appreciated. I have had luck with the illyasus (Sp.?) snails i catch (they work great and bother nothing in my tank) so if the pods were to work it would open up many possibilities for stocking / filtration of my tank. Thanks ahead of time.
