Daphnia rearing

["Jon Aquì" <ohimo at hotmail_com>]

Well, here I go again w/ my endless questions.  A couple of weeks ago, I 
bought a packet of Triop eggs, and while they're well on their way to 
becoming the vicious little carnivores that they're purported to be, I seem 
to have gotten quite the colony of stowaways w/ said eggs:  From what I can 
tell, they are the common water flea, aka (how ironic is that?  Using "aka" 
on the AKA website, I mean) Daphnia.  Don't ask if they're pulex, or 
whatever the other one is, I really don't know.  What I'd like to know, 
however, is how to raise them so I can actually feed them to my killies.  
Ideally, I'd like to think that no all would be eaten, and seeing as how I 
have planted killie tanks, I'd think some would hide in those and maybe 
breed on their own.  Anyway, what do I need to do as far as water conditions 
and feeding go?  Thanks again, folks.

Jon
