I like to keep more than one culture going in the off chance that one bucket crashes, i'll always have a backup, or two. This will be a lot less work when I get a culture of live algae going, but for now, this works fairly well! No filter, no heater, super cheap!

That would be much easier if you use a dense fish net which is what I use. Then all you have to do is turn the net over in the other bucket. You're making yourself a whole lot of extra working doing it the way you are.

@DEXTER-TV-series Год назад

Unbelievable amount of work. Absolutely annoying approach. More biodiversity - more stable and more simplicity. I think, all these "gunk" can be eaten by snails and black worms and other creatures like that.

@rajiv9819 4 года назад

You can feed them any kind of oil cake (ground nut cake, peanut cake, mustard cake....residue after crushing their kernels upon extraction of oil) in a very small quantity just 5 to 10 gram in 5 gallon of water with daphnia culture. They will multiply like crazy.

@vanissaberg5824 13 дней назад

To filter out daphnia I just use a reusable coffee filter to strain them out with. The mesh size is probably the same as a brine shrimp net but has a bigger basket. The dirty water is used to water my plants. I hot glued a ring of foam to the top of the coffee filter so it'll float if I want to float it for harvesting them by pouring cups of the culture through it to "trap" them in. That makes sucking them into a turkey baster a piece of cake!

@ffocsi7250 6 лет назад

Why not use a *turkeyblaster* to pull out the debris in the bottom? Looks when you spin it around it all collects in the middle for easy extraction.

@CHRONICjon716 6 лет назад

Ffocsi he did....

@royalspin 5 лет назад

Yeah slightly overkill for the whole process . I use a regular mesh net and transfer them to a different bucket but make sure its aged water with algae present. To get them all bunched y together use a flashlight or other light source and aim it at a focused spot which makes it much easier to get them with less hassle than all this he's doing. They're a good indicator of water quality and many studies have been done using daphnia . I prefer to leave mine outside to get natural sunlight and rain water but I have them shaded or inside during the summer .

@MAFishGuyAquarium 9 лет назад

@becsap9151 5 лет назад

Wouldn't it be easier to simply siphon them into a net?

@Jen.K Год назад

Most say aeration is needed, some say only large bubbles, this one says no aeration, some say 12 hours of light, some say 24 hours of light, some say no light needed. Some say clean debris, some say put in debris, some say mix of lots of different foods, some say only green water. Some say small water change, some say 50 percent, this one says change all the water, so much conflicting information, still don't know what to do. Maybe it doesn't matter what you do, they are so resilient they will deal with whatever you do....my guppy girl just ate one of her babies, I need my daphnia culture to hurry up and arrive.

@gregjonesonline Год назад

Honestly the most successful method is giant outdoor pond with green water and no flow, the larger the better

@Jen.K Год назад

@@gregjonesonline and do you ever change the water in this giant outdoor pond? I do have a pond, it's currently full of water plants and duckweed. I think the water might get too warm in summer. I was told I need to keep them cool.

@gregjonesonline Год назад

@@Jen.K rain water should be fine outdoors, the plants may out compete the algae they need, 2 ft deep should be enough for temp

@Jen.K Год назад

@@gregjonesonline Thank you, I could clear out some of the plants, or make another pond. I set up 2 inside tanks for them today, so will see how I go. Might transfer some to the pond when the weather warms up a bit, it's winter here right now.

@VishalKumar-wm6wb 4 года назад

Welldone idea

@GueCalColombianTropicals 4 года назад

@Greg Jones, what do you do with the detritus when you change the water as you are showing here? Since daphnia produce cysts constantly in case their vernal pool environments dry out, you may be throwing out culture starter material. AKA Cysts. Also, I am curious what you would think of culturing daphnia using bird wastes in the water? I am sure the algae would grow incredibly fast, so wondering.

@jurgenschroter8673 6 лет назад

very good - easy effective - thx for sharing

@cjcummings3199 Год назад

nice video....Im suprised your daphnia don't go into shock as you are essentially doing a 100% water change. I feed mine largely with green water algae which raises the PH of their water pretty high. Also my green water culture is always warmer than my daphnia tank which I keep at around 70F. which makes me have to drip acclimate each water change.

@vtwayfaringman7161 9 лет назад

Is that Daphnia from the culture you got from Bill at PVAS last month? If so yours did better than mine. I got a new batch from him at NECA this weekend. I also got a copy of Mike Hellweg's book. His recipe is: 2 parts ground wheat or rice bran, 1 part each Spirulina powder, Chorella powder, Soy flour, 1/2 part powdered infant formula and 1/4 parts each paprika powder and bakers yeast. I am going to give that a try.

@ramusbadisfish6582 5 лет назад

Would it be okay to use algae wafers?

@leam89 5 лет назад

I disagree. That little debris will not cause a crash. I have cultures in 5 gallon buckets going without cleaning the bottom for 3 plus years. I change 25 percent of the water a week and only feed green water. Typically cultures crash from over feeding

@gregjonesonline 9 лет назад

Lewis Fromholc the first thing i tried was starting a culture in a marina box and i found that due to the water turning over, all of the suspended food gets flushed out and they either starve or you end up polluting your fish tank heavily. The 5 gallon buckets seem to work well. When it gets warmer out i'll start a 150 gallon stock tank culture outside with algae as food and rainwater as topoff
