Re: Daphnia in fry tanks
I've found that greenwater for daphnia is always appreciated, but what I do
regularly during warm weather is add a couple of teaspoons of diluted pureed
sweet potato to the tub, just enough to make it cloudy, every couple of
days. Seems to keep them going just fine. The sweet potato I use is baby
food, but others buy canned sweet potatos from the vegetable section, then
puree them for use. Others use pea soup ... various foods do work.
