here is something that i thought might interest anyone out there that keep daphnia.i have a 300gallon water tank that i keep about half full of water full of daphnia.in the past i've fed green water(as i was able to produce it) and babyfood(sweet potatoes diluted in water)it worked pretty well.about 2 weeks ago i took some fish to sell to a lfs that i have dealt with for a few years.i took the owners nephew a culture of daphnia and the owner asked me what i fed my culture.he(he's been keeping and breeding fish for over 40 years) asked if i'd ever tried yeast.i've been feeding them yeast ever since and i have never harvested this much daphnia since i've been keeping them.not even close.i've got a real fine gauge net and i've been able to get enough really small ones to feed my fry every day.i strain the ones i collect with the small gauge net thru a regular aquarium net and put the big ones back in the culture(or feed them to my adult apistos)
