Bettarazzi Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Oh wow!! I've never seen that much daphnia. I wonder what the wetlands near me are like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyeo Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Wow that is awesome. Bettarazzi we have to find some wetlands around us. We don't get this much when we culture them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yes that's a crazy amount. What sort of environment should we look for? Or do we just bring a net and hope for the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irsacae Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Just a good size freshwater lake if it has a board walk or jetty type structure you normally find them in the shadows of it but not always.If its windy I go to the side of the lake the wind is coming from so it is still calm.I could have filled the bucket solid (no water) with daphnia in under an hour easily but there is no need to. I always have daphnia in my ponds with 5 I normally have 2 producing a harvest able amount but now my fish stocks are increasing I thought I would top them up.

RAINMAN Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi All, Does anyone have or know where I can get some Daphnia? I live in Ringwood. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Do you mean where there is a lake? Or just who might have some daphnia as a starter culture? Not sure what wetlands are out your way. But in South East Melbourne there are some wetlands along Scotchmans Creek just near Huntingdale Rd which might be worth a try. Also Jells Park. Oh, what about Blackburn Lake? I haven't been out there but it might be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy to just get some from people to start a culture also. Any suggestions for live foods other than mosquito larvae, white worm and BS for SAA Killifish? You don't happen to know anyone that has grindal worm do you? Thanks Edited March 17, 2015 by RAINMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've got grindals. PM your address and I can send you a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
