Daphnia Culture Required!

[betta fish]

Does anyone have live daphnia? will need to be posted if you are not local to Kent but I will pay, have a tank set up for them just need some to start up
Please let me know, I can't seem to find them anywhere at the mo, unless anyone knows anywhere in Kent close to Ashford or cheap online? Thanks.

I can get some for you from my LFS, how much are you after?

That's great, I'm only after one bag to get me started, my lfs used to sell them but when I went in there today there was no live food whatsoever! If you could let me know the cost of the daphnia and postage before you get them or the rough cost please, thank you

Hi, the bags are usually 1 GBP each, postage will be at cost. I think the probably weigh around 100 g, so first class postage should be £1.96… I *might* be able to get it sent as a large letter, so could be as low as £1.09 for the postage. Packaging will be around 36p for a small padded envelope or 50p for a solid "box" that can be sent as large letter.

Royal Mail postal charges are terrible aren't they? think I'll wait for my lfs to get stock in as they are just having a move around at the mo so will probably get more in at some point, usually they go for 40p a bag, many thanks for your help though

Yeah, they are… did you hear that they're going up again at the end of April? A first class *normal* letter will be 60p!
