Re: Daphnia
Hello.
"My daphnia didn't rebound this season. Could someone suggest a source near
NJ."
If you live near Sanatoga, PA, I'd give you a few thousand, but it would
probably
be easier to order them from one of the several on-line sources.
"My daphnia seems to be having a problem. They seem 'furry" . . . .
I've never seen that. I'm inclined to suggest that you dump the culture
and start
over after sterilizing the container. But if the culture is clear then
they aren't
getting enough food, so you might think about increasing that. And be
sure that
the water has enough calcium in it.
Daphnia live only 20 or 30 days, so some deaths are inevitable. Almost
all of the
"mulm" that I remove from my successful cultures are dead daphnia.
Good luck!
Bill
