@kevmem2000 We stabilised it by using a cavity slide with only a very small amount of water, and then carefully using a cover slip to hold the daphnia in place. It took a few attempts, and I think the Daphnia in the video was on its last legs which is why it was a lot calmer than normal.
NICE!!!!

That's not the heart beat!
What looks like its heart beating, is in fact its appendages creating a water current for feeding purposes!
The heart is located above, on its back.

@abruptus errrr yeah, duuuuh!
That's why I said: "The heart is located above, on its back," it's to left of the eggs that it has (2 dark things) :/
I just hope people don't confuse the Daphnia appendages moving with the heart beating, that's all.

I wish there was an enormous, metre high water flea, that you could hug.
