    This is the most common-sense daphnia and moina cultivation video I've seen - everyone else seems committed to constant intervention and inputs for something which should really be a very simple process.

    Great video man. I am a culture nerd too. I just wanted to add one thing. I keep a reservoir full of greenwater and feed it to my moina and daphnia every couple days. Just wanted to mention there is a hybrid scenario and that is what works for me. I use a 55 g rain barrel as a large greenwater reservoir.
  • @xillerin
    Can't wait until the green water culture kits are on the website!
  • This video is what I needed to begin to raise Daphnia for my fish. Thank you for sharing! Please keeps us updated!

    ended up with green water by accident when I put a 5gallon bucket outside for my excess java moss. I added tank water everytime I did a water change and now I set up a 14.5g plastic bin!! Waiting a few weeks and then I plan to slowly add daphnia, scuds, and blackworms!! Already got some bladder snails and ramshorn snails in there!! So excited to have a food culture tank!!! I subscribed😂😂😂
  • @johnnybest6386
    I always buy your food web cultures i am a big customer and i cant wait to purchase this one
  • @cahuman443
    Thank you Tony. I'm having a blast w the betta fry. I'm ready to advance. I just ordered green machine thing and more bugs🤣 your the best. Ps: love the ceramic, by the way. What a nice touch It's under Alescio
  • @MandyJane123700
    This is awesome. I am going to get one of the kits when they're available. I've been thinking about how to grow live food, I've still got scuds from the ones I got from you last year.
  • @pattys_aquatics
    This is very interesting and have watched to try this for awhile. Thanks for sharing
  • @PsychoPlantLady
    Thank you for making a step by step how to. Great video! ❤
  • @smzubek
    I thought your name was Phillip. 🤔
  • I want to learn this 🙏 I’m so excited that you are doing more videos about the tiny creatures! My scuds are insanely cute and multiply like crazy!!! I would love to only have to feed live food. I can’t wait to order all the new stuff ❤️
  • @smzubek
    Now that I've finished the video, I have a question. I am in Texas, and it gets quite hot, even in the garage, which is the only place indoors that I'd be able to culture them. I understand moina can handle a bit higher temperature. Have you cultured them in warmer water? How did they do? Planning on buying some, along with scuds an microfauna in November when I can spend money again, lol.
  • @miashadows
    I want to know too! Planing on porch pond type cultures for the summer.
  • @miashadows
    I have a light green water i started and feed w tank water. I mix in a little of the powdered stuff to feed the daphnia tank. I would love that full green you have!
  • @chadtitan4159
    I find that Moina tend to handle softer ph and higher temps whereas the Daphnia magna tend to like a more alkaline ph and colder water. Just my 2 cents as a culture nerd myself.
  • Hey Tony, if it crashes, meaning the green water is depleted, can't you just add more culture and live green water?
