I've cultured daphnia many many times, in everything ranging from 2 litre cola bottles to inflatable pools.
Since moving house a couple of years ago I have been completley unable to keep the little buggers alive for more than three days.
I've always kept them in aged tap water, fed on a mixture of activated yeast soloution and green water. I've tried various containers the largest being 36 litres, the smallest 3. Air, no air, daily water changess no water changes and so on. I have tried absolutley everything, and honestly cant figure what the problem is.
Any ideas? I'm going to have larvae in a couple of weeks and working full time can only pick up live food on the weekends - they need to survive at least a week.
Help!
