    Great information most people don’t go this in depth! Love the live plants in their tub, do you think it helps keep them alive? Also gorgeous fisheys and tanks!

    I have a bunch of eggs to culture. It's been awhile since I cultured some. I have rather big tanks, and was surprised that I have daphnia still in my tanks. I found some in my filters and at the bottom of the tank. It's been MANY months since I added them. Strictly as a food source, but some have found a way to survive. Even in crystal clear tanks.

    Cool Video! I have a 29 gallon with a few floating plants and I have a few questions. Where did you get your starter culture? I was going to catch some wild ones. Also do you recommend dry yeast? I noticed they sell it at Walmart. Do you a specific ratio of yeast and spirulina powder?
  • Very useful! Wow! Didn't know they create their own hemoglobin. Interesting crustacean.
  • @jamesdduong
    This is an amazing set up. Thanks for sharing! What temperature range can daphnia handle? I want to do an outside tub like this with a heater. How many gallon is that tub and how much water do you change weekly?

    Against the wall, need to feed. Thank you. Mine is always on the wall so I better feed. I am going to feed and come back to your video because mine is white. Thanks.

    Thanks for the great video! Very informative. I've heard that some people are adding soy protein in the food mix. I don't know if it's any good tho. I've been trying so hard to keep my moina running but first culture crashed after 1 month. Second culture cushed second day. Tomorrow I'm starting 3rd one. If i understood right, 1 cup of water 1 tsp spirulina, and 1 tsp yeast correct? Do you filter the mix when adding to the container? Or just spray it directly even if you get some (un-disolved) powder in the feed? Lastly are we supposed to clean the bottom of the tank/container from mulm when doing water Change?
  • I feed my daphnia with 2 glass green water from my goldfish tank which i put it outdoor.

    Do you use a sponge filter or just an air bubble? It does not seem like you need it in your drum. Thanks.
