Both of course is true.

Both did not mention the species name but only talking about Moina.

 In germany few aquarium hobbyists have a species called Moina
macrocopa. I am not sure whether the name is correct, but today I
received a starter culture of this. This is surely not M. micrura and
might be one of the other species occurring in german waters: M.
macrocopa or M. brachiata. Once I  found a link concerning M. dubia,
which was cultivated by some fish breeders in Singapore. As far as I
know, this  link is down but I still have a copy of this text on my
computer.
