@jack342able Yes, I will. I just recently got an old-fashion microscope. It should be cool!

It looks like there are more at one end of the tank than the other,which Ive noticed in my tank as well,especially with the babies.Do u know if they pick a favourite area for the smaller ones to live in?

Also,how do u change any of the water without killing a load of them?Ive tried syphoning some water out with a bottle,but when I look at the water before I get rid of it its always full of loads of them (Then I feel bad and put them back lol.So far I've just topped up the tank with clean water)

@Kez1983 They follow a light. They will float in more illuminated area of a tank. They also like to float in area with more food (dust) in the water.

I syphon water from inside a fine net. So, daphnia can't get into that place I suck water out from. It's easy to do.

Thank you!

Would these be good for an all plant aquarium? Why do you change the water so often?

[igorKanshyn]

@Irineosgirl123 I don't think that will are good for planted tank. They need a 'green water' to eat. It's algae and it makes tank cloudy. It will not be nice. They will not live long in a clear tank.

There is no filter there, so I just change water :)

What kind of air pump are you using in the tank. The bubbles are coming out very slowly.

Please reply.

What song is that? Also, beautiful video. I just got a sack of Daphnia for my community tank (never heard of them before today) and the fish seem to absolutely love them. I would consider having a tank devoted to growing them as feedstock.

I really like the look of your tank. I'm going to breed them too! :) What did you put there? What type of rocks and is it algae or some sort of moss?
