Daphnia
Daphnia are great to feed your
fry. Uneaten Daphnia will eat the bacteria and 'crud' that is in the
fry tank. The Daphnia can be cultured in pretty much any container
with a large surface area.. Do not use aeriation with daphnia. Use
small amounts of light, low light. A teperature of about 70 to 75F
is good. The Daphnia can be feed twice a day with various algae scrapings
and tank crud, as well as deactivated brewers yeast, and other small
particulate type foods. The best food to use is green water.
Cultures must be cleaned out about once a week for gallon or smaller sized
containers. For large production you will want to use a small kiddi
pool. To harvest them use a net to catch them and rinse them off
with clean water before placing in fry tank.
