I love it when I find a south african in this hobby putting out great quality videos.
@@duanescharneck168 much appreciate the compliment thanks so much. Can you recommend any other local channels to follow? I don't know many other local aquatic youtubers 😀
@@SimplyAquaticCT youtube.com/@droeksonfishkeeping?si=bAiQ-ZeDuUjlExej he's probably the one worth mentioning that I know of.
Great channel. Droeks on Fishkeeping also has great content
Thank you for showing your system. I love it.
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😄
Look forward to the green water vid, always struggled to sustain my daphnia population!
Hoping this helps you 😄🙌
Thanks for explaining it so well bud 🎉
@@osamagangat3898 so glad it was helpful, thanks for the support 😀
Awesome video bud keep it up
@@derekorton8221 thanks man 💪😄
2:32 I can have red colored daphnia?! Amazing! Great video. I keep my main daphnia/scud colony in a plastic tote with a small sponge filter set on low and a heater in the winter at about 76 fahrenheit.
@@kjudestevens1519 I believe it's called Moina Magnus or something like that 😂🙌
Great video
@@jonathanlopez5549 thanks 🙌
Good video, nice and informative.
I too have a daphnia magna culture going. I have an IBC with the daphnia and 2 more IBC's growing green water. To say I have a lot of daphnia, would be an understatement.
@@peterbott1877 UNLIMITED FOOD 😂🙌
Awesome video! I need some Daphnia to clean up a green water tank I have going unintentionally 😂
@@aliciamatthews8357 always the best though, would definitely keep that culture running in a bucket outside - never know when you might need some 😂
Hello! When transferring daphnia from live green water to the fish tank, should I be concerned about triggering an algae bloom?
@@theclamorband Hello 👋 This is a great question, if you want to be 100% sure you don't trigger it I would rinse the net with daphnia in clean tank water before releasing them to feed the fish 👌
@@SimplyAquaticCTthank you !!
Hi Tristan, awesome video! I was wondering whether you sell starter daphnia cultures? I am based in Paarl... would love to purchase some eggs or starter culture if you can spare some?
@@zurakirach7009 thanks man, and yes I do please DM me on IG or join our WhatsApp group 😄💪
@@SimplyAquaticCT Ah thanks a million will do! And also just subscribed
@@zurakirach7009 thanks for the support 😄💪
is these daphnia moina or magna ?
I believe mine are moina, but the principles would work for both variants :)
Did he say where he got the net from in the comments?
@@JetRavenBlack at my LFS @mcmerwe
Here did you get your daphnia from to begin your culture
@@andrewsmit9932 I got this current batch from a friend, but have seen them in local lakes and ponds frequently. I do believe in some places you'd be able to order live eggs online as well if you don't have a water source nearby.
@@SimplyAquaticCT kwl,, we just flooded out our freshwater systems by us,,,
@@andrewsmit9932 yeah this weather really has been crazy this week. My garage also took a knock and flooded in the front 😔
Comment for the algo. 🙂
@@Cow_Juice busy filming it today, will post shortly! 😄
@@SimplyAquaticCT Looking forward to them. Take your time. No rush. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. 😃
