'Daphnia culturing and raising your own live food is one of the best things you can do for your fish, and Daphnia (also called water fleas) are some of the most nutritious and easy live food to DIY. Cory uses a 360 gallon tub outside, a 100 gallon tub, and a 55 gallon tank. The largest tub is the best producing by far, and can feed Cory’s entire fish store once a week. The Daphnia are fed yeast mixed up with an immersion blender. Snails, algae and duckweed will likely find their way into your daphnia pond. Daphnia tanks outside will end up with mosquito larvae and/or cyclops, which can either be good or bad. Some tips for how to culture daphnia: You do not need green water as a hard and fast rule, while it helps, you will have to feed your daphnia anyways. Just like any other aquarium, be sure to maintain good water quality Daphnia Magna and Daphnia Pulex are raised the same way Daphnia take 7 days to reach sexual maturity, and have about 10 babies. You can go from 10 to 10,000 daphnia in a single month! Because of this explosive population, they tend to boom and bust (crash.) That’s why many people keep multiple cultures going at once Having a large volume of water and a lot of surface area will really help. Some people don’t recommend aeration, but it has been beneficial to Cory’s Daphnia yields. A never-clog air stone seems to produce bubbles of just the right size. Daphnia molt a lot, so keeping lots of calcium in the water will make a difference. Wonder Shells and crushed coral are both easy and inexpensive additives. Starting with aged water, and only using it for water changes and top-offs will be extremely helpful. To harvest your live fish food culture all you do is take a brine shrimp net and slowly move it through the pond (big/fast motions will stir up gunk from the bottom.)
