Hello,
I was thinking about cultivating Daphnia for live food. My LFS (not very local btw.) do not offer live food except for worms and bait fish! I live on a lake in southeast Minnesota. I would think there would be Daphnia in there, but I am not sure or if it's even advisable to use them considering the risk of dragging in parasites.
My idea would be to keep them outside in a large container filled with rain-water with an air-stone and feed them yeast and algae wafers. In the late fall/winter I would keep them in my heated garage (40F/5C). Would like to hear from anyone who's done this.
Cheers,
Michael
