Indoor daphnia

[sharkweek178]

So I want to set up an indoor daphnia tank. Just a spare ten gallon. No filter or and probably no heater. Just an airline without a stone for aeration. And a spare two gallon bucket for a backup culture.
This will be a springtime project. I don't think daphnia will survive shipment in this weather. I'll start some green water jugs now. Just used tank water in clear plastic containers with a little fertilizer added. I'll keep them by a window. I think I'll also try a spirulina powder/yeast mix. I know green water is better, but I want to have a reliable food source too.

Any advice?
