I've got two tanks going with daphnia and snails. Seems to be multiplying well. I feed my fish every day with the stuff, a bit everyday to supplement. Now my ramirezis won't even eat the tetra granules I used to feed them. Always pecking around for daphnia.
I thought of a better way to grow bacteria for daphnia... I threw my terrapin into the tank. That fella just eat and sh*t = bacteria. I will also toss in any dead fish I find (my dried up flavatra one of them). Otherwise no other dead fish liaw. Seems to be working well... but then it's just day 3.
The larger daphnia tank is actually a large water lilly tub at least 30-40litres capacity. Gentle aeration. Filled with old aquarium water only. Kept in shade.. but I think it will do better with more light... grow more algae. EVerytime I do a count I get more daphnia, so the culture is multiplying....
