Back to fishy things - are you suggesting that Cladocerans could be
maintained by feedind a suspension of soy flour similar to Brine Shrimp
with yeast, rice bran etc.? Do you have any info on whether they would
continue to breed for subsequent generations etc?
We could have a feeder bucket of suspension of soy flour hanging over the
daphnia culture with an airstone at high flow keeping the flour in
suspension and have it dripping steadily into the culture to keep it fed .
It sounds a bit easier than the algal soup that you keep dividing into
quarters.
where can we get some tropical Moina ?Theoretically we could breed them in
our fishrooms this way.

for a food on your daphnia try soy flour a little bit mixed into some of
their
water so it is in suspension.
