Re: daphnia

["David Baker" <dbaker_iis at hotmail_com>]

I have cultures in 1 litre jars through to 100 litre tubs to an old wheel
barrow. When a culture dies off, I keep the mulm and refresh with old tank
water. This blooms within a week or two and the daphnia culture starts
itself off again within a few weeks. I have had old cultures in jars restart
themselves after many months. I read once that daphnia produce eggs before
dying off.
