BKK, where/how did you get your Daphnia culture started? I've been wanting to do that myself as it's a great food for Juvis.

i'm totally impressed with how easy daphnia are to raise. last time i was visiting marianne at bcbetta.com she gave me a starter culture along with a bottle of green water to get things started. she also gave a great tip on an alternate to using green water; a sprinkle of sugar, a sprinkle of dried condensed milk and a sprinkle of bakers yeast. grind it all up together and mix with water, instant food. the only precaution is to not overfeed them. we keep a plastic basin on the window sill and feed a bit every couple of days, they reproduce like crazy, you can use a turkey baster or course net to harvest them. not only are they plentiful but they look cool too

I want! I want! Now I need to find someone local to get a starter from
