I have a question similar to Steve Pushak's. Have tried gram flour as
suggested for a week to rejuvenate any dormant Daphnia eggs in my 10 gal
indoor tank. I have even raised the temp a degree or two but nothing has
happened. I plan to siphon the mulm in my outdoor tub hoping to get some
more dormant eggs and transfer to the indoor tank. Any more suggestions will
be well appreciated. TIA.
