Daphnia Hatchery

[michael]

I was wondering if the brine shrimp hatchery on Indiana U's site, http://www.indiana.edu/~axolotl/axolotls/shortguide/shrimphatchery.html, would work for Daphnia OK or if I should do the tub style one like on a Daphnia page I saw?
That hatchery looks pretty simple & easy to do & should take up less room, which is at a premium right now!

Thanks!!

Hatching brine shrimp and raising daphnia are two very different processes. I don't think daphnia could live in there. Even brine shrimp can only live in a hatchery for a few days. It is possible to raise moina (a small variety of daphnia) in a small container (couple of gallons).

Ok, I'll do the bigger tub style then. Thanks for answering so quickly!
