Re: [Killietalk] RE: Feeding Daphnia

[David Sanchez <barbax2 at yahoo_com>]

I use a rotation method. I make a pool green  then I
add daphnia. I guess I could say I use a batch culture
method. As one pond uses up its greenwater i move the
daphnia to the next pool. I then empty and clean the
old pool and start again. I guess we can se that there
are many roads to Rome. My system works for me and is
almost worry free. I also think greenwater is very
nutrient rich and thus makes for a high quality food
for the fish.
