Daphnia Culture Advice

[dw1305]

Hi all,

Where might that have come from?

From the plant material, mixed up with bacteria, fungus etc. You get it a lot on <"ponds etc">. I would just keep skimming it off if it bothers you, but I don't think it will bother the Daphnia.

or to let the gunk go through the net and leave the Daphnia behind?

Net out the bigger Daphnia? and feed them? or alternatively collect the smaller ones that have gone through and tip them in the tank

If you use the muslin net could you let the Daphnia swim out of the net into the fish tank?
