I've read before the ingredients mentioned in the article but never tried before just because I'm lazy :P

Anyway the secret ingredient vouch be many of my previous generation of fish breeders were not mentioned mainly because it is not hygienic and may pose health risks.

OK Let me break the news. It's COW DUNG. With this you don't have to even get a starter culture as it was claimed (not by me) to contain daphnia cysts than will hatch once the S.H.I.T is mixed with water and exposed to sunlight for a few days. So if you have a garden not paved, you can dig a ditch a dump all your Cow S.H.I.T inside and mixed with some water, stir well, wait a couple of days Walla a colony of daphnia.

I'm hearing alot of eeeuuuuwwww but guess where the daphnia you bought came from anyway

So anyone is up to it can give it a try but not me. I might be slaughtered by my family for bringing some shit home......
