I gave James some of my rotifer copepod mix a couple years ago. Not sure if he still has it.

J&L Aquatics sells both benthic and pelagic copepods. They are a much higher density then I have as probably 95% of my mix is rotifers. If you really need rotifers I will sell them if you have no other option to get them.

James (Jamrobo) from Marshall's may sell them as well.

FWIW, I have tisbe pods and they are on their own. I haven't had rotifers for a lot of years now as they are a PITA getting into everything. It's like they float through the air to wherever I have phyto or brine cultures.
The tisbe I grow in three storage trays and culture water is only a little over an inch and a half, topped up for evaporation daily. They feed on Nano and I don't have to add nanno often, and, don't have to do water changes often.
Biggest problem though is harvesting them as the water ends up getting crap from fecal pellets and dying phyto so I have to use several mesh sizes to get all out but the stuff that is the same size as the tisbe.
