When I had my freshwater aquariums in the Old Country, I used Daphnia Magna
and Cyclops species of microscopic crustations as the main food source for my
fish. I also used to raise Daphnia in sludge-rich water drained from
aquariums -- they grew to the size of 4mm! -- and the fish seemed extatic to
chase after the little buggers.
However, I had not heard of Daphnia available on the West Coast or seen it
sold in the aquarium shops (in the Old Country, Daphnia and Cyclops were
available both in the Aquarium shops and in any pond)...
Any advice on getting live Daphnia culture?
