How to know if its daphnia or moina?

[Aniket]

I brought some water from stagnant algae water. I found daphnia and small daphnia or may be moina. How can we identify if its small daphnia or moina?

It's unlikely that you'd find two different species of daphnia in the same small sample area. I'm guessing adults and growing youngsters.

Ya me too. But that pond was 15 feet x 8 feet. So i thought i could find both of them. There are lots of different creatures like copepods n all.
