    What are Ostracods?
    Ostracods are a class of small crustaceans commonly known as Seed Shrimp due to their small size, typically smaller than a poppy seed or up to 1 mm. Their carapace, the upper shell of crustaceans, is bivalved, giving them their other common name Mussel Shrimp.
    Where do these Ostracods live, and what do they eat?
    Cypridopsis vidua
    is a species of seed shrimp found in Florida that has a worldwide distribution; it is found in freshwater environments around the world. Members of this species feed on periphyton, which is a combination of algae, cyanobacteria, heterotrophic microbes (bacteria, yeast, and molds), and detritus (dead organic material) attached to aquatic vegetation
    .
    A great live food for fish, and fry!
    Total refund available if dead on arrival (DoA) within 2 hours of package delivery time with video.
