Your tutorial on Daphnia was very nice. You got my attention. Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed watching. I subscribed and put notifications on, so keep them coming!

I guess one of the benefits of starting with green water is that the Daphnia can live happily in a concentrated food solution and reproduce at a maximal rate. I noticed that feeding too much yeast resulted in some death and ephippia formation (my hypothesis for this is oxygen depletion), so your food recipe and feeding recommendations seem to be much better than others I’ve heard

Your daphnia guides are the only thing that keeps me hopeful for doing a daphnia culture, so very helpful! I killed about 3 cultures, but my current one has been going on for 2 weeks, which is a massive milestone for me. One question though, how do you clean the jar itself from the exoskeletons, dead daphnia, and (because i add snails to eat the leftover food) snails’ waste? Hope you read this, absolutely love your videos!

Good tips on feeding and multiplying live food (Daphnia) for fish. Liked and subscribed to your channel. Another exciting channel on fish and aquariums. I am a fresh water aquarium hobbyist and love to watch videos relating to this hobby.

Thanks for the video

Great video.

Thanks so much for making this video! I’m trying to find more resources on keeping small cultures without aeration to have as backup to my larger, aerated tank. I don’t have the means to aerate the 4 backups I have, so it’s nice to see that it is possible to keep them like this.

I love this video
