WHOA WHAT ON EARTH ARE THESE?!

After searching for what daphnia looks like, i agree with Wuvmybetta. The look just like these lil thingies i've been feeding my bettas. small, orange, and able to swim.

I don't know if I would feed those. My daphnia culture is extremely active, they never stop moving. I would be concerned if they aren't that active.

Daphnia LIVE in water don't they, not just come with the ability to SWIM in it.

Uh yes these are in water in a small cup. The 'thingies' in the cup with their own pals are very active compare to those unlucky ones who think they can wrestle with a betta .

Daphnia are a type of water flea, they are entirely aquatic

 

[BettasRFriends]

Geez this sure is confusing. If only i can get a clear picture of these things. I'm not sure if this is helpful but the 'things' are in a oval shape and, if im not mistaken, have two 'whiskers'

 

[SRC]

whew! that thing is ugly...I'm glad they are small...so you can't see that everytime you glance at them . It looks like something off Alien.

I would describe daphnia as minature horseshoe crabs if that makes any sense Also remember that there are many many species of daphnia, so that picture isn't going to hold true across the board. I'll try to get a picture of mine, but goodness....no promises
