Hi all
I have two Daphnia cultures running in about 18 litres of water at 17C with a 12:12 light cycle. Although the cultures are doing well, I am having trouble keeping a constant supply of young Daphnia going. I need the smallest ones to feed small larvae. The cultures tend to produce a huge crop of young, but then as these mature no more, or relatively few are produced.
Any ideas as to how to keep young Daphnia hatching?
