Use Tisbe biminiensis | G² Pelagic Flux to Build a Self-Sustaining Pod Population
Tisbe biminiensis | G² Pelagic Flux is the workhorse of the reef ecosystem. Nocturnal and benthic by nature, Tisbe pods spend their nights patrolling live rock, sand beds, and substrate crevices — consuming detritus, diatoms, and uneaten food that other cleanup crew members can’t reach. The result is measurably improved water quality and a natural, renewable food source that multiplies inside your tank.
Tisbe biminiensis | G² Pelagic Flux are the preferred prey of Mandarin Dragonets in the wild — their small size and rock-dwelling behavior match exactly what mandarins hunt naturally. For any reefer keeping a mandarin or trying to establish a refugium population, Pelagic Flux is an essential foundation species.
Why G² Pelagic Flux:
- Rapid reproduction rate — establishes self-sustaining colonies quickly
- Nocturnal behavior protects population from daytime predation
- Dual role: live food source and active detritus cleaner
- Harvested fresh within 24 hours of shipping
- Live Arrival Guaranteed on first delivery attempt
- Available in 8oz, 16oz, 32oz, 64oz, and 1 gallon
Ideal for: Mandarin Dragonet keepers, refugium seeding, detritus control, sand bed health, beginner and advanced reefers
Live Arrival Guarantee (LAG) We take immense pride in our cultivation process. We guarantee that all live cultures (Copepods and Phytoplankton) will arrive alive and healthy.
Claims Process In the rare event of a DOA (Dead on Arrival):
Non-Returnable Items Due to the biological nature of our products and strict biosecurity protocols, we cannot accept returns on live cultures once they have been delivered. This ensures that no outside contaminants ever enter our facility.
Cancellations Orders can be cancelled for a full refund at any time before the shipping label has been created. Once a live order is in the hands of the carrier, it is final.
Biological Shipping Schedule To ensure the highest viability of our live cultures, we ship Monday through Wednesday. Orders placed Thursday–Sunday will be dispatched the following Monday. This prevents your Phyto or Copepods from being held in carrier facilities over the weekend.
